This video reminds me of when I was 10 years old, 69 years ago, and I hatched my first baby chicks.

Kevin and Sarah, congratulations on the launch of your chicken sale. I’m confident it will go well…but I have to add that you two look awesome. So slim and trim…now that deserves recognition. Congratulations and God bless.

So excited for you! It’s been so encouraging to see your journey over the years. You have given me the courage to take steps that were once only dreams! May God continue to bless you and your homestead. ❤

This was very timely. Our beloved rooster died this week defending his flock, and we are having to incubate his first and last clutch, as the hens are not broody. Wish us luck!

I remember waking to the peeps of hatching chick's some years ago. Thanks for the great memories. 😊

@gelwood99 Рік тому

I much prefer the R-Com as the best incubator. Same price range but better technology and ease of use. Has a small heating unit in the water reservoir. Recovers heat and humidity levels after opening within 1 minute. A group of my chicken friends did many different hatches and tried several methods of cleaning and found that using a cap full of bleach in a sink full of warm water to clean dirty eggs, rinsing with clean warm water, and drying them completely right before going into the incubator actually increased the hatch rates to 92% and produced healthy chicks. Especially useful during spring mud season when we usually do hatches and have to deal with dirty eggs.

@gaylewatkins4685 Рік тому

This is a master class for hatching chickens. You should convert one of your sheds into a hatchery. Chickens are in great demand.

@jamesgaul3544 Рік тому

@ClickinChicken Рік тому

thanks for the simple facts! Fresh food and water (non frozen) Daily!! Keep pine shavings in nest boxes for 'clean free' eggs. Have a caged run, open windows, vent in coop for ammonia in heat season :) put this on watch later.😉

@PennyGarland Рік тому

I think temperature is what affects weither you get roosters or hens. I have always had more roosters in my spring hatching and hens in the summer hatch. I only use broody hens no incubator

@living4mylord Рік тому

You must have a good flock. We used to. We had one hen that would collect 30 eggs and go broody. She hatched, trained, and protected those chicks and part of the flock they became. It was incredible. Now, new flock, 20 years later, one hen goes broody and she jumps off the eggs when they begin hatching. Pure stupid apparently.😭

@randypyatt5649 Рік тому

They are so tiny an cute

@virginiawimer8064 Рік тому

I never saw so many tiny feather babies! So cute!

@stefandeonath5199 Рік тому

While "sexing" a chick from an egg seems to be a bit farfetched, I've heard that you can tell them apart from chicks, well for ducklings. I was told to look at the thickness of the ducklings feet. The thick feet are drakes and the thin feet are ducks. Maybe that criteria can be applied to chicks as well.

@daniellesunley4807 Рік тому

I switched to brinsea incubators a few years ago when the cheap Chinese made incubator I was using glitched and cooked my chicks on hatch day. I have the ovation 56 ex and love it, I usually get 100% hatch rates. I use it as an incubator only and on day 18 I move the eggs to a hatcher. This not only keeps the incubator clean but allows me to set eggs every week in one incubator. This also means that I only need one brooder and the older chicks teach the younger ones to eat. Because new chicks are added every week there is no aggravation issues.

@LivingTraditionsHomestead Рік тому

what do you use as a hatcher?

This was a great video! We are going to be hatching our own eggs for meat chickens next year. We have new egg layer chicks coming in July. Not trying to hatch for selling, just for us for consumption. We are 71 years old and are just trying to be as self-sufficient as possible. Thank you for such a detailed video explaining how to incubate, etc. This was just what we needed. We also checked out the new website and love it! Good job! We love you guys! God bless! ❤❤

@lenalyles2712 Рік тому

Growing up we did it the old fashioned way and let so many hens set on them and always had enough chicks to replace the old ones.

@joannmahaffey1068 Рік тому

Yes yes yes.... Hatching eggs is not confusing or complicated with a Brindsi and I am not getting any thing from the company either. Like you I started with a cheaper one. What a pain in the #%*. Get a Brindsi and follow the instructions. My worst hatch with the brindsi was 80%. Often got 100% hatch. They can easily stay at room temp for 7 days. You guys do such great teaching videos. Kevin, I just needed a reminder and I watched one of your videos on making easy bread. Again a great video. Quail sure are cute and I wish you all the best with this lot.... I think the Chicks are not done hatching.. This is so exciting. 80 % is a good rate. American Bresse are wonderful.. Thanks for sharing.

@lovesJesus448 Рік тому

You both look very slim going Keto and letting Jesus be known by your shirt good job!

@marydavidson8930 Рік тому

Congratulations on a great chick hatch! They look great! I agree on keeping things simple. I've been raising chickens for 20+ years and finally decided I needed to stick with one breed of chicken, too. My choice is the Black Australorps, they are a dual purpose bird that lays a lot of eggs. Check them out, they are awesome!

@saddleridge4364 Рік тому

yes, love the black australorps too. Especially those pretty brown eyes. Here's a little story: I had my chickens out free ranging with my Shepherd and I keeping watch. I was sitting on the grass, my dog was lying down next to me. One of the roosters decided he was in love with the black australorp. He came running at her with 'intentions' and she ran behind my dog and sat very close to him. Rooster changed his mind! LOL.

@heatherk8931 Рік тому

And they are a friendly breed 😊

@heatherk8931 Рік тому

@margaretbedwell3211 Рік тому

This is cuteness overload. I have never seen so many baby chicks and for sure baby quail. It is hard to believe those quail came out of those tiny eggs. Thanks so much for sharing, especially to city gals like me. Y'all have a Blessed day.

I ordered Cornish Cross, the American Bresse were sold out already. Getting 20 meat birds. And we ordered 15 new laying hens - McMurrys best sellers mix or something of the sort. My son has 26 eggs in his incubator right now. And his foxes are bred. 😊 Those quail chicks were adorable 🌺 Thank you for another great video.

@doityourselflivinggardenin7986 Рік тому

Good to see more chicks! I have a couple tips to add. (Been hatching for 40 years) Eggs can be washed. Obviously, if you have plenty of eggs, only keeping clean unwashed eggs is the best. But if all you have is 12 eggs and 6 are dirty, by all means wash them in cool water. If the shell is stained, they can be sanitised, but one needs to do it correctly. Never place a dirty egg in an incubator. I know you don't have a temperature controlled area for storing hatching eggs, but for those that have a cool basement, you should use that. Your heat lamp was not supplying enough heat. The chicks were gathering directly underneath it instead of spreading out. Look for poopy butts now. Chicks don't need to have their beeks dipped. That is misinformation from decades ago. They will find water. I've hatched thousands of chicks. None needed the dip. If the brooder temperature is correct, they will venture out to find water. I just hatched two batches recently. The second was 100% fertile with 100% hatchability. That doesn't happen often. An 80% hatch rate is good. All the best in your adventures. You did save some for yourself, right?

It took three full days for all of our chicks to hatch. The very last one’l to hatch was having trouble and we found that its intestines formed outside its body so other than that, we had a pretty good hatch rate this year. Way better than last year. Last year only two of 10 hatched. The others stopped developing and never got out of the egg. It’s been an interesting learning experience each spring.
