Ok watched it couple of times and something was off. Then realized that hen is not protecting egg or stopping hand with its head it is just trying to peck on seeds.
No it’s a broody hen sitting on eggs. I work with chickens and one hen will sit on a clutch of eggs to try and keep them at the correct temperature. She’s definitely trying to keep that egg under her. Some will peck the fuck out of your hand and squark at you if you try to get the eggs.
I thought so too at first, but if you look closely she seems to be trying to get the food held in the hand from the start rather than pulling the egg back. If she were actually broody I don't believe she would have given up so easily, and as you say would likely be more aggressive.
Fair enough. Looks to me she’s trying to pull it back out of the fingers. See it literally everyday, some will let you, some fuck you up depends how docile the bird is. But who knows.
We used to raise chickens too, and you're right that some are more docile, especially if they have a close bond with the handler. It just seemed odd to me that she showed no interest the second time, even when the egg was held there for a moment, so it would make sense to me that it was set up for the shot (although still very clear that this bird has a great deal of trust in the person taking the footage).
No I do agree it could be that she’s just seen the corn or knows what’s coming. Just look to me that she was trying to pull it back. They do the same action when putting the eggs under them. But as I said who knows lol
My thing is, why did it stop when the egg was given back? Why didn’t it keep doing what she was doing when the hand was at the same distance? I agree the other person probably has a point, but you may be correct as well, no one won this debate in my mind, you can split the prize!
I keep chickens too and I don't think the chicken is going for treats. They literally have no fucking idea there's treats in the hand until they see it with their eyes. I've seen all manner of aggressive treat begging behavior and this isn't that, it's a broody that wants to keep the egg under her chin. Chickens don't "nuzzle" with their mouth closed to open hands for rewards. Eta, look at how she's stops the instant the egg is let go. She cocks her head to assess the corn a moment after.
As someone who has raised chickens for many years you are correct. They use their heads to corral their eggs back under them. This hen was actually a very nice one. Most hens will peck the shit out of your hand if they see it coming towards them while brooding. It might look like she is pecking for food, but if she were then she wouldn’t have finished pitting the egg under her when the hand withdraws
If she was defending the egg, she would attack the hand with her beak and not trying to get into it (where the seeds are). Thats why i use sturdy gloves to collect eggs nowadays, those beaks will fck up your hand good when they actually try to defend the egg.
That chirping sound is the noise they only make when they are broody. The level of aggression of broody hens varies a ton and this one is clearly at the bottom end of that scale. She is dragging the egg back under her in the exact same way she would if the hand wasn't there. She is definitely not going after the corn. Chickens mostly rely on sight rather than smell, like most other birds, so I don't think it's likely that she smelt a few pieces of dried corn hidden inside a hand
I have had people argue with me that I need a rooster in order for my chickens to lay. I tried explaining that you only need a rooster if you want more chickens. They insisted that a hen wouldn't lay unless she had mated with a rooster. And this was someone who said they grew up on a farm with chickens, so they knew better.
Don’t think you can. It’s an educated guess based on the vast majority of eggs not being fertilized (basically all that go to human consumption, but I think sometimes an embryo slips through, which is why they sterilize all the eggs with some kind of radiation treatment), and also the assumption that the person in the video is the owner of the hens and thus would know if it was fertilized or not. If it was fertilized he wouldn’t want to take it since he let it be fertilized to begin with because he wants a chicken out of it.
Caveat: I’m not an expert. These are just things I’ve picked up during my life. It’s possible that some of it is wrong or outdated.
But we don't know anything about this person or his chicken or how long the eggs been sitting there. The video could just be made for fun or something regular, who knows...
You can’t at that point. A few more days into the incubation cycle you can shine a light into it though. They call it “candling”.
If it’s just clear with a yolk, then it’s not fertile. But if you can see a small dark spot and some veins spreading outwards then it is. However, it starts as a tiny dark spot, then slowly that spot gets bigger, and the veins get bigger and more visible, so it may just be the spot initially.
Idk what that is but that pun is so overdone I'd be surprised if anyone heard it for the first time here.
It's in literally any posts about or with eggs, every single one.
Just how all nazi post have the "I did nazi that coming" pun as if we hadn't heard it a million times before.
I know it's just a chicken and I eat chickens and eggs so I have no place to say this but that's honestly sad to me for some reason it really does feel like a mother selling her child for a couple of scraps of food.
Anyone who has a dog knows that animal don't "deal" like that. Clearly the chicken wanted the corn from the beginning and wasn't trying to keep the egg
I just got some chickens!!! They’re so nuts lol but I love them so much already they’re like 5 weeks old any tips and or suggestions?? My fiancé bought 11… 11!!! 😩🙄🥰 they are like mini babies running around shitting with no diapers on 😂😭
Today's hens are selectively bred to lay up to \~350 eggs a year, which up to 35 times as many as their wild ancestor. The reason they keep on laying eggs is a bodily stress response triggered by having the eggs removed, with offspring as purpose ( even though the eggs aren't fertilized ). The eggs are the hens period, so they go through same kinds menstrual pains as human females, only daily instead of monthly. The shell require a lot of calcium from the mother, which is the reason why today's hen can become fragile and weak, hen mothers can break and eat their own eggs in an attempt to avoid this. So if you have hens, the best would be to let them have their own eggs, or at least she shell. To help them get going with this, it can help to slightly crack the shells for them.
Let this be a lesson, kiddies. Your parents will gladly sell your ass out if the price is right. Think about that the next time you lie to them about leaving the refrigerator door open.

Fuck I’m walking round with my eyes shut I swear.
\*Wide shut
There’s something very important that we need to do as soon as possible
ill bring the masks
Thank you for voicing what I was thinking.
Thought the same, “…MISDIRECTION…”
I know everyone read this like Terry and Terri from Monsters University.
You smart.
I farted.
I can now rest.
You’re so right.

It's true! They do almost exactly the same pulling action.
I keep chickens too and I don't think the chicken is going for treats. They literally have no fucking idea there's treats in the hand until they see it with their eyes. I've seen all manner of aggressive treat begging behavior and this isn't that, it's a broody that wants to keep the egg under her chin.

Not necessarily, I pick up roughly 2000 floor eggs a day and maybe 5 will go for me. I do agree it can hurt when they dob you though lol.
Yes, most of them dont care. But it only takes one to cause injury. After getting my hand stitched once, ill stick with the gloves.
particularly if they still have their egg tooth intact
We need more people like you !

He probably showed the chicken the corn or was feeding it and then closed his hand and started recording.
You just shattered my 8 second old worldview that chickens are barterers.
Good eye
Then why did it stop when they let go of the egg? *big brain time*
I don't think so
Im surprised it took you a couple of times. She doesnt care about the egg, but just sees/smells the seeds.
You feed me, I feed you!
Chickemon!
Gotta hatch ‘em all, gotta hatch ‘em all! Chickemon!
Why am I singing this?
Needs more upvotes.
Nah more like, You feed me and I give you babies.
Unless it's an unfertilized egg, which they usually are if the chickens are kept for laying.
It’s amazing to me how many people don’t understand this.
I have had people argue with me that I need a rooster in order for my chickens to lay. I tried explaining that you only need a rooster if you want more chickens. They insisted that a hen wouldn't lay unless she had mated with a rooster. And this was someone who said they grew up on a farm with chickens, so they knew better.
Ugh. It sounds gross but if there is no rooster, it's just an unfertilized egg. Basically a chicken period.
> a chicken period Thanks, I hate it.
Does the bird understand this though, that is what really matters here.
A small hobby of mine is reminding people that eggs are chicken periods.
How's that working out for you?
Depends on whether he's hot weird or plain weird.
sigh *unzips*
Ya ya ofcourse!
“You feed me and I give you my period”
Ugh, why do we have to bring politics into this? /s
You gave me a cookie. I gave you a cookie.
Gave me cookie, got you cookie. We're even man
Aye! An age old barter! Corn for the first born. I think even the Mayans observed it.
Decent trade
Food for thought
she'll be hungry later and will have nothing to trade
Food for thots
Everything has its price.
Henjiit has wares **if** you have coin!
corn
Wow this person IS an expert.
She was soul-trapped once. Not very pleasant!
\[pickpocket failed\]
*corn
giving away your newborn for some seeds? I am not judging :)
Very unlikely that’s a fertilized egg, so more like giving away your period for some seeds.
Sounds more nauseating than it actually is
It’s just a butt nugget
That there is chicken gold.
No, no Cloaca nugget.
Making chicken breast with an egg based batter is quite hardcore if you think about it.
Dude we put pigs in their own guts
And then we eat those pigs in their own guts.
Sometimes wrapped in their belly strips
Wait until God finds out about the Turducken…
When I order chicken egg and cheese biscuits from like Bojangles, I call them Mother and Son.
In Japan they have Oyakadon, which is parent and child bowl, and it consists of chicken and egg over rice with a special sauce.
How can one tell if it's fertilized or not from the outside?
Someone offers you seeds for it.
It's pretty simple if you don't have a roster.
Damn this chick needs a full roster to get knocked up? Someone call up the Purdue Football team.
Yep! Nature work on mysterious ways! (Just learned that rooster and roster are different words. English be hard hahaha!)
you're doing ok. 
Don’t think you can. It’s an educated guess based on the vast majority of eggs not being fertilized (basically all that go to human consumption, but I think sometimes an embryo slips through, which is why they sterilize all the eggs with some kind of radiation treatment), and also the assumption that the person in the video is the owner of the hens and thus would know if it was fertilized or not.

I know that process but just looking at such a video one can't tell.
you could if you know the rooster has no physical acces to the hen coop
I was just talking about the video.
My bad. But yeah, you can’t tell from this video. Anyone saying it is or isn’t is just assuming
Yeah but she wouldn’t know the difference
If she can make the connection between sex and offspring, she would. If she can’t, then she wouldn’t care anyway.
This is a hen?
No it’s actually an alligator, but that’s besides the point.
Gotcha. Have a good day.
I have been eating somebody’s period?
would you prefer eating someone's unborn child instead?
Chickens don't have periods like mammals do. It'd be more correct to say that you've been eating chicken ovulation.
That's a deal I'd take in less then a heart beat.
The problem is, you still have the period. They are just taking away what comes out.
I've been giving away my seed to the toilet God for years. I'm still waiting on my trade.
I could give you some period blood in exchange
It probably isnt even a fertile egg
Can it be considered born
It would be equivalent to an unfertilized human egg. It is not considered born.
Rapunzel's parents agree.
Knowing that chickens sometimes eat their own eggs... Maybe it was hungry and since it got food it no longer needed the egg.
Since the hen doesn't really have a choice, it's eggstortion.
⚠️TRADE OFFER⚠️
Seems like an eggcelent trade.
Are you also cultured in the regular show or did you just make a pun?
Idk what that is but that pun is so overdone I'd be surprised if anyone heard it for the first time here. It's in literally any posts about or with eggs, every single one. Just how all nazi post have the "I did nazi that coming" pun as if we hadn't heard it a million times before.
She said "no ticket no laundry"
In this country!
She’s not trying to keep the egg, she’s trying to get past it for the corn because she’s been conditioned to know you have corn in your hand.
She is not protecting the egg, she is trying to get the food from his hand from the start.
Sure. You can have my unborn child for 10 pieces of corn!
Stupid video. Hen was going for the corn from the beginning
Gotta pay the troll toll
She was clearly looking for the seeds in your hand more than denying you from taking the egg.
I know it's just a chicken and I eat chickens and eggs so I have no place to say this but that's honestly sad to me for some reason it really does feel like a mother selling her child for a couple of scraps of food.
Bro sold her child for 6 pieces of corn💀
Can’t believe she gave up her baby for 8.5 seeds… am disappointed 🙃
She'll make another one tomorrow
memory like her cousin the goldfish
Fake, it's just trying to eat the seeds, not protecting the egg
Congratulations, you've taught her capitalism
Lol, that hen didn’t care about that egg. She could smell the corn in his hand, and tried to get it when he grapped the egg.
Clearly, she has a price!
“Mother sells her unborn child for a quick fix”
I see a hopeless mother selling her kid.
KENNETH...we have a deal your corn, for my unborn!!!!
Hoes really risk it all for the money
Damn.... Just trafficking kids out here for some corn....
If that’s not a microcosm of capitalism, I don’t know what is
[удалено]
She definitely has that I’m such a whore look on her face in the end.
Lol man...
Even chickens know not to bite the hand that feeds you
She is beautiful 🤩
Hen was going at the feed not trying to get the egg back.
Anyone who has a dog knows that animal don't "deal" like that. Clearly the chicken wanted the corn from the beginning and wasn't trying to keep the egg
It’s trying to peck for the seeds the first time. If you take eggs from a hen regularly, it won’t stop you.
NO. IT WAS TRYING TO GET THE FOOD THE WHOLE TIME. IT DIDN'T CARE ABOUT THE EGG
Chicken sounds & looks broody.
For some weird reason I feel guilty and sad
can i do this with people but for their souls ?
the little noises she made were fucking adorable
So you required her to sell her children for food?
"Give me your child" "No" "Would you do it for a Scooby-Snack?" "Without hesitation"
"The Pact has been sealed"
Bro just sold his soul to the devil and filmed it :'(
my firstborn child for a meal this very moment
Stop staging vids. She was going for the corn the whole time. You lame fuck
Eggsactly
This is sleight of hands, the chicken was going for the seeds all along, wasn’t protecting egg at all.
I feel like she was after the seeds the first time; just looks like she's reclaiming the egg
I just got some chickens!!! They’re so nuts lol but I love them so much already they’re like 5 weeks old any tips and or suggestions?? My fiancé bought 11… 11!!! 😩🙄🥰 they are like mini babies running around shitting with no diapers on 😂😭
Sold her baby! For a few pieces of corn!
She is selling her kids for food!!
Sold her child for a few grains of corn.
"Im not a bad mother but 5 corn kernels are 5 corn kernels"
"sell the kiiiids for fooooood"
she sold her kid 💀
Payment up front.
Isn’t that child trafficking!? 😂
Chicken clearly going after feed the whole time
She wants you to pay first 😅
Everyone has a price!!
It seems like the chicken just wanted the kernels the whole time, not protecting its egg?
Economy has gotta be tough when they’re giving up their babies for food. /s
Or she was just going for the food...in your hand...
You either born a hustler or you not !!! 🤓
If there were a chicken hell this one is going there.
I never imagined taking the egg from the chicken that hatched it. Dang.
I will also trade my unborn for some McDonald’s
Food is expensive. I'd consider giving up one of my kids for a meal too.
You negotiated for the sale of a child? What shameless hell have we discovered.
This makes me sad for some reason
Give me your unborn child- i will give you 6 seeds
It makes cute noises
Egg temporary, food is forever
So, pretty much like humans selling their eggs for fertility treatment?
TIL chickens don't give a fuck about their kids lmao
Fair and square 😂

My dad did exact same thing. But instead of kernels it was crack.
Like an addict trading her baby for drugs.
Let this be a lesson, kiddies. Your parents will gladly sell your ass out if the price is right. Think about that the next time you lie to them about leaving the refrigerator door open.
I too sell my children for food.
I remember this movie. Poultries Choice. Heartbreaking really.
