Discover the feathered residents of the farm in this lively animated nature story! Chickens, ducks, geese and turkeys all come to life for children aged 2–7.
About This Video
The farmyard on a sunny morning is ruled by birds. A cockerel stands on the fence and crows with extraordinary self-importance. A hen leads her twelve cheeping chicks in a line across the yard, shepherding them away from puddles. Ducks waddle down to the pond with their ducklings streaming behind. A matronly grey goose hisses impressively at the farm dog. And up in the old barn, a broody nesting turkey is the most serious bird of all. This story introduces every common farm bird with its male and female names and its chick.
Perfect for children aged 2 to 7 who love birds and farm animals. After watching, test the bird vocabulary — hen and cockerel (chicken), duck and drake (duck), goose and gander, turkey hen and tom turkey. Visit a city farm with poultry to observe real birds up close. Free.

Parents' Questions
Which farm birds and their chicks are introduced in the Feathers Everywhere story?
This farm bird story covers the full farmyard cast with both adult and chick names. The chicken (the female is a hen, the male a cockerel, the baby a chick — yellow, fluffy and urgent). The duck (female duck, male drake, baby duckling — covered in downy feathers waterproofed by the parent's preening). The goose (goose, gander, gosling — larger and more territorial than ducks, and often better guard animals than dogs). The turkey (turkey hen, tom turkey, poult). The guinea fowl (guinea hen, guinea cock, keet — extraordinary spotted feathering and a loud alarm call). Each bird is shown in genuine farmyard behaviour.
How can the Feathers Everywhere video help children distinguish between common farm birds?
The most common confusion for young children is between ducks, geese and other water poultry. This story helps clarify through direct comparison: ducks are smaller with flat bills specialised for filtering pond water, geese are larger with longer necks and rounder bills designed for grazing grass, and both behave completely differently around people — ducks curious and calm, geese alert and territorial. After watching, visit a pond or city farm and challenge your child to correctly name every bird and its chicks they can see — using both common names and baby names from the video.
What age is the Feathers Everywhere farm birds story designed for?
Designed for children aged 2 to 7. Young children love the sounds — the cockerel's crow, the goose's hiss, the mass cheeping of chicks following their hen. Children aged 5 to 7 memorise adult and baby names and love testing the vocabulary on everyone they meet. One of the most popular spring term videos for nursery classrooms — often used the week before or after a farm visit so children arrive knowing what to listen for and return knowing what they heard. The cockerel is always the most popular character.
