I used to just call them with treats and lock the door behind them. But they caught on. So I herd them with a net. Still catching one and petting it does wonders later. I have to put them up early sometimes and they have to go in . Great content and perfect advice.
You guys are absolutely awesome, this channel has LITERALLY changed mine and my chickens lives! I'm a lone wolf with chickening so hard to find information from experience for me...thank you!
Thank you! Very helpful!
I always do any treatments after they roost. Build trust with your birds and they will step on your hand to pick them off the perch, even roosters.
When I return them, I again let them stand on my hand and slowly move them next to a perch and they simply step off to the perch.
I never try to catch a bird that is not in the mood to be handled. That builds distrust.
The humor is great and spot on!
Good information
Great advice, thanks!
Could you do a video on Ancona chickens? Love how informative these videos are!
Thank you
I herd my chickens. I spent a lot of time with them when they were in the house in the brooder. They saw how things work with the cats and dogs and that’s how things work with them now. They like to be in their chicken run and with their coop. Probably because the nests are there. But when they do go find some way to push the gate open, they all will get out together and they follow the alpha rooster who stays in front of the house. He’s my favorite and loves me the most and all I have to do is scold him and tell him to get back in the run and he goes right up to the gate and I open it. He goes in and all the others follow, except for one or two. Then I get behind those and I keep herding them to the gate and I try to open the gate but sometimes they want to keep running off instead of go in and we will repeat the process two or three times until they go in. But the main thing is they want to get to the gate with the others because they don’t wanna be separated from the flock. So it’s pretty easy. I do have two of them who like to play games with me and they’re just having fun but as soon as they tire out from walking around the truck in circles with me scolding, then they will go to the gate and wait for me to open it. I made the mistake of snatching them and lost their trust for bending down over them to pick them up so I’m getting that back because I stopped that behavior. So they train me and I train them. 😅
This is an awesome video, very nice.
Thank you very much!
"...we will deal with her later" 😱
Boy I agree, trust is everything with all kinds of birds. Their perception and intelligence far greater than we give them credit for often I believe. One poor little girl recovering from sour crop has had a bad few days but she was excited to get out and forage yesterday evening. But stuck close to me and clearly kept me between herself and the two rambunctious boys in the flock. The boys were none to happy with me but we didn't have to have a fist fight and they're still my buddies. But they got the message too and backed off of her.
Nope, don't think they're all that stupid at all. Just a very different view of life than we do.
More setails on the boxing method please. I mean, the bottom of the box has to be open to set it over the bird. So I get closing in the top. But how do you keep the bird inside when you slowly turn it over if the bottom of the box is also open?
More detail on the boxing method? Aren't they as wary as of hook or net?
I'm currently trying to catch some common fowls
Next video-how to catch your rooster, please
I’ve watched a few of those videos. I’m so lucky my roosters are docile. My Sussex doesn’t like me, but he won’t fight me when I do pick him up. My silky is just a big squeeze toy. And my Australorp rooster adores me and actually goes into a submissive posture when I’m around because he wants to be held. He’s still a juvenile, so I’m sure that’s gonna change a bit but he’s always gonna be my favorite little baby.😊
Enjoyed your humor!!
A few days ago I had to treat my flock for mites. This required holding them and spraying them with mite spray.
Catching during the day was impossible for me since hip surgery.
I was able to set a plastic lawn chair in the coop after dark while they were roosting for the night. I took a small hand held flashlight and hand spray bottle of product into the coop. Gently, but firmly I picked each hen off the roost and treated and talked to her. Then replaced her back on the roost. Only took about 45 minutes to treat eight hens. The Fall evening was pleasant so they were wet but comfortable. By morning they were dry and mite free, which made them much calmer and happier.
Never forget they have faster reaction times than we do, in addition to being able to run faster
I try 2 wait until they are at roost to do anything that can wait its so much easier
I have only six hens and my problem is trying to not step on their feet. They don't run away from me, they run up to me. I feed mine a handful of mealworms every morning out of my hand.
👍
Grab the wings
I have one chicken that don’t just peck me it bites sometimes even leaves a small bruise what your advice to stop it threatening to have fried chicken don’t work.
Virtually none of these ideas are going to create an endearing relationship with your chooks that’s for sure .
Chickens never travel far from the flock so why worry
