This is week 7 in my series Raising Baby Chicks: Mama Hen vs. Humans, but mama is gone now. So it’s time to kick out the fat lazy house roosters and integrate them with the coop babies. We are integrating baby chicks with other baby chicks that were born only a day or two apart.

We have made it to week 6! We've been comparing and contrasting the difference between tow clutches, one hatched by a broody hen named Delilah and one hatch by my incubator the next day. We take a look at individual chicks to guess their sex. I will keep updating every week as to how they progress and eventually who's who and which ones are going to have to be rehomed or headed for freezer camp. I'm surely not looking forward to that part, because I already have let myself fall in love with many that seem to be roosters. I just don't want to think of what will happen to them in the next month or so. (Leave in the comments the Number I assigned to the chick in week 3's video and guess the sex. Tell me if you think I'm right about Miriam and what do you think about the Wyandotte mixes.) If you happen to need any roosters, I may have some hand raised and broody raised Easter Eggers available soon, as well as some silver laced wyandotte mixes. Who doesn't want a bitchy wyandotte in their flock? LMAO (I'm not sure how the roosters act, but their mama is a royal vent.) 🤣 The next few videos will probably not be so long. Hopefully. LOL Make sure to go back and watch Weeks 1-5.

This is week four of raising baby chicks from both a mama hen and a hatch from our incubator. This is the 4th video in the series. It’s quite amazing to see how much these chicks change in just a month, so I encourage you to go back and watch the first 3 videos as well. Thanks for watching! God Bless! Please like this video, share it with your friends and subscribe to our channel.

We hatched 6 eggs in the incubator and 7 under our broody hen. We now have 13 baby chicks on the farm to contrast the difference between raising baby chickens by their mama as God intended vs. being raised by humans.

Baby Chicks Raised By Mama Broody Hen VS Humans via incubator and brooder box— Week #1 (God’s way VS Artificial way, no doubt, that God wins. DuBois Legacy Farm

Both roosters are ok and getting along just fine now. They have some battle wounds, but nothing too serious. Hopefully they got this all out of their system. I’m not a fan of rooster drama.

Our 8 week old roosters got their first surge of testosterone right on time, and had to work it out. Oddly enough, we thought Noah won, despite his black eye. But since this day, Noah has bowed down to Enoch. The next surge of testosterone in baby roosters usually comes at 12-16 weeks. (They are 11 weeks at the time of this upload, so … to be continued. (Neither rooster was badly hurt. No blood, just bruising around Noah’s eye.)

23 Day Old Welsummer/ISA Brown Chicks Raised By Silverlaced Wyandotte Broody Hen— They Aren’t Really Chicks Anymore, but they are still sleeping under mama.

These 22 Day Old Welsummer/ISA Brown Chicks were hatched and Raised By A Broody Silverlaced Wyandotte Hen. They are very advanced for their age and have a lot more of their feathers than other chicks their age. They know how to hunt, scratch, preen, dust bathe, perch and fly. If you want baby chicks. Get a broody to raise them for you. It’s worth putting up with her attitude.

I’m so obsessed with my baby roo. He’s the cutest chicken ever. 🥰 These are Welsummer/ISA Brown 3 week old baby chicks. They were hatched and now being raised by a silver laced wyandotte named Dorthy. She is an amazing mom. However she is a brat to me. Lol 😂

It’s taken over 10 months so far to build this chicken coop and it all started as a project in our garage. Each wall was built separately and then screwed all together in the back yard. The materials are mostly reused, second hand, reclaimed and recycled. All except a few 2x4s, some gate latches, a few hinges, and a lot of screws. Hopefully the final project will be done in the next two weeks in time for our new babies to move in together with the rest of the flock. We can hardly wait!

Broody mama hen, Dorthy, (silver laced wyandotte,) teaches her 18 day old hatchlings, (welsummer/ISA Brown) to preen their brand new feathers. The cuteness is off the charts.

Mama Broody Hen, Dorthy, (Silverlaced Wyandotte,) teaches her 3 baby chicks, (Welsummer/ISA Brown) to dust bathe. Dorthy is a fantastic mother and these chicks are well advanced from any other chicks that I’ve seen their age. If you want smart chickens, get a good broody to raise your hatchlings.

It seems that a mama raccoon is missing her 3 babies. They have been hanging out around the edge of the yard and down by the swampy pond. They were up in the pine tree by the rose garden and all the chickens were on high alert. Dorthy headed to the closest safe place which was the adult coop. I locked them in until the raccoons were gone. Rosie and Blanche hid behind the deck over by the garage door until “the lady,” (me) took care of the threat. Hopefully the poor baby raccoons will be ok by themselves. At least they have each other. I just hope they choose a different area to live in.

Our first time here with baby chicks and I don’t ever want to have to do it alone. Having a broody mama hen to hatch and raise them like they are her own is the way to go. They seem so much more advanced than any other 17 day old chicks that I’ve ever seen. Plus since our brooder pen is outside, they have been exposed to weather and nature right from the start. I guess it all really just depends on how good of a mom your hen is. We got really lucky with our silver laced wyandotte, Dorthy. Couldn’t ask for a better mama hen. Chicks are all Welsummer rooster/ISA Brown Hen mix.

Mama silver laced wyandotte, Dorthy is teaching her 2 week old Welsummer/ISA Brown adopted hatchlings how to hunt, as she also shows them around the yard. She really wants them to learn to use the adult coop. She’s longing to be a full united flock again, after the death of her buddy and Lt. Sophia. We all miss Sophia.

Mama Dorthy is raising three baby chicks. At this point they are only 9 and 10 days old and on their 2nd free ranging attempt. Auntie Rosie is on a quest for her old Queen Bee title after being at the bottom all winter and spring. She lunges several times at the babies and mama lets her have it.

We are building a mini-homestead in Michigan and trying to be as self sustaining as we can. The land is part of a 40 acre parcell that my Grandfather perchased from my Great Grandfather and has been in the family for over 100 years. I'm happy to carry on the legacy of farming and raising livestock on a level that we can manage.

Dorthy, Mama Hen, on day two of hatching her clutch of eggs. Three from the original dozen that we gave her, hatched. But we feel so blessed to have them. She has become an amazing protective mom.

Dorthy, just over a year old hen, hatches her first clutch of eggs.

Our very first chicken to be culled. We now have The Golden Girls with no Sophia. Rest in Heaven Sweet Sophia. Our "I'll Do What I Want," Chicken. The Lady and The Worm Guy love and miss you.

This is Dorthy on her first couple of days with her 3 new baby chicks.
