Thank you! I definitely feel like I'm getting the hang of it. I have butchered chicken's before, but that was so much work. Plucking a chicken can be quite a challenge, and skinning isn't much easier. I'm wishing you all the luck though, and that you have a great harvest day. 😊
@@rudi7707 That's a very good question! There are so many ways to do it. The most common way I've seen is to hang a cone, like a traffic cone, upside down and put the chicken inside with it's head sticking out of the small hole on the bottom. Being upside down puts the chicken in a calm state, and the cone will keep it secure after it has been dispatched. But, there are other ways as well. How I harvested mine was, I held the chicken while my dad used a very sharp knife to quickly remove the head, and then I put the chicken in a big bucket as fast as I could. Those chickens can make a really big mess if you don't have somewhere to secure them while they flap about. I hope my explanation helped. And you are always welcome to ask more questions 😊
@@rockbellranch Vielen Dank für die Antwort. Habe irgendwo gesehen dass man das Huhn in einem Sack steckt mit einem Loch für den Kopf. Mit einem Beil geht es dann ganz schnell und das Huhn merkt nichts. Werde ich ausprobieren.
@@rudi7707 you're very welcome! I'm happy to help as best I can 💕 I hope everything goes well, and that bag idea sounds really great. That should definitely help, and the hatchet is definitely the way to go, as quick as possible for the least amount of suffering. You got this!! 👍
Thank you so much 🙏 it certainly isn't an easy job, but if you are going to eat any animal it deserves as much respect as you can give it 💕 And I actually just recently got into meat rabbits. I got my first breeding pair at the start of 2022, and harvested my first farm raised bunny at the beginning of 2023. I'm still learning a lot 😅 but it's been a experience.
If you dispatch correctly, the hope is that they do not feel pain. The type of dispatch method I use is cervical dislocation, and it's done so quickly that the rabbit shouldn't even know what happened.
I would love to give it a try sometime, but I don't have any sheep on my farm 😅 we only have rabbits and chickens right now. Next on my list though are goats 😊 and I'm sure one day, I'll do a nice butchering video for a goat.
Das hast du gut gemacht.Schlachtest du auch Hühner?Muss ich bald zum ersten Mal machen.

bravo for your work, with the respect of avoiding animal suffering, you are courageous. At what age did you make your first rabbit?

Do rabbit feel pain?
