we ordered 6 fertilised chicken eggs from ebay, because a cockerel made too much noise. the mother took to the eggs really well even though they were the wrong colour to what she lays

  • Where was this filmed?

  • @KiddyWorld888 my brothers garden, Birmingham, UK

  • What's on the chick's wing? A wood chip?

  • @lmbarak its a bit of shell that had dried on, we had to soak it to get it off

  • Do all mother hens brood on surrogate eggs, even if there's no rooster present?

  • @ReighnDrac I don't know about all, there was no rooster here. when the chickens are laying, afterwards some go off looking for food and don't seem to bother coming back until the next day when they are ready to lay again others stay on the eggs much longer.

  • @ReighnDrac they do. They can even hatch ducks eggs and adopt the babies. color doesn't matter.

  • Beautiful! I really hope one of my hens starts breeding some day soon! :-)

  • Beautiful Brahma. I had a few and they were so friendly never aggressive. About the surrogate part. My goose abandoned her egg so my banty hen finished the job. It was an awesome experience. After about 4 weeks old the gosling would follow geese around and behind her was the mother hen!! They all got along even to this day!! Mother's Day is a little confusing tho!! Ha ha but all are great!!

  • Awwwww! That is sooo sweet!

  • What gorgeous chickens! They are absolutely adorable and beautiful.

  • A hen and chick with a saucy curse at the end! What else do you need in a video?

  • @kraftwerkmod Aww...
