IMHO, NOBODY who eats meat should criticize your methods of raising your chickens OR how you dispatch them. They have had a FAR BETTER short life than their neatly packaged supermarket cousins (until the moment of their final demise). Also, why are vegetarians and vegans watching this video after seeing the VERY CLEAR description of content???
Agree 100%! Title & thumbnail are clear…yet they still click & attack. Lol. We’re used to it at this point. Has zero effect on us. We’re still rollin’!
Hi.. I don’t eat red meat from choice- I don’t call myself a veg.- I eat fish and chicken..all because it’s my choice. However… I don’t make comments on how others eat or live their lives… Sure I can’t watch certain things- but that’s me… I can’t watch any kills.. never have been able to. Don’t make comments.. Don’t watch… It’s not your life…it’s theirs..I love this family.. I watch a Canadian who lives on his meat too… I just pass over those parts…. Because their lives are good thoughtful kind lives….. When I look around there is very little kindness going on…
I don't eat meat since 2006, I prefer vegetables and greens, that's my choice! But I would never dream on commenting or judge anyone else! It's your choice, so if you cannot watch - don't! And please let this wonderful family do want they want and keep your views to yourself! Love you guys ❤ You are amazing!
Good for you! Teaching Parker all aspects of living and showing him, Lexi, and James skillful lessons that will last the rest of their lives! You are a good momma!
You know you guys make me jealous❗️ every step you guys take is one that I would take also. You keep this up you may have a Chicagoan for a neighbor just not too close. Everybody needs their space believe me I know. you’re a great provider of homesteading knowledge, as well as homeschooling knowledge, as well as beautiful family life
When you said "put them in the plucker" my first thought was "Man, when I was little, I was the plucker!!" So many people would not know how to survive if all of the grocery stores disappeared! 😀
You are amazing…processing your own birds is humbling. My grandparents raised 500 birds a year when I grew up. Some went in the freezer,the others were sold. It makes you appreciate where your food comes from. Try your cornbread in a cast iron skillet in the oven…it’s Devine.
I personally think EVERYONE should have to raise and process their own animals. It's a valuable skill. Growing up if we killed something we HAD to eat it.
I am a vegetarian. Have been since I was 16 (65 years old now) but I respect what you do. You raise your own meat. I respect that a lot more than people who condemn you, yet go to the store and buy meat. I choose not to watch. But I support what you are doing. Love from Northern Idaho!!!❤❤❤
I could have written this word for word. Total respect but skipped that chopping bit I was okay with the plucking and washing though. Everything looked very well done and packaged 👏
Thank you! I had never seen a plucker before and was curious. I can’t wait to complete our homestead. You are teaching your children lifelong skills that they can pass along to their children. Let the haters hate…
We raised our children and still do on a farm. They learned how to butcher chickens, goats, rabbits, pigs, ducks, and cattle. The ones who did not want to butcher, helped with cutting and packing. Great life my children had and still have.
I also was Parkers age when I helped my parents and grandfather help process chickens on the farm and after we finished we had a nice country meal and made homemade ice cream and we talked to each other…( yes we actually looked at each other and talked) and it’s something I remember to this day something we did as a family and I am 67 years old now. Your truly amazing family and really enjoy watching your videos. I just wish Joe was here to help me screen in my back porch.Enjoy your life in Alaska.
We raise and process our chickens also. Love, love the chicken plucker. I'm so glad we made that investment. Goes so much faster than the old hand plucking.
Tina, I have no idea why you need to explain yourself. This is what life is about. You do a great job raising your food. Yes it is sad , but again…..that is life. My mom and dad taught me all the necessary skills, just like you do with Parker. We should all be able to take care of ourselves and realize the a chicken does not grow in a supermarket cooler! Thanks for taking us along! ❤❤❤
That’s part of his learning because you’re teaching your child how to process your food and all the things you have to learn in the farm that’s part of his education. I think it’s awesome that you guys do it. I don’t I don’t think I could do it. God bless you guys❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Hello! Everyone!" Happy Mother's Day. Tina.It's slaughter the birds today. For fresh chicken. Which I think is great.You know what you get. Love how you process everything.from beginning to end.Love how you share the gifts that you get from others.Thats fun.And all ways Love the scenery you show in the background. It's beautiful. Great video today. Until your next one. ❤😊
The processing of chickens is pretty interesting. And do people think about what the grocery stores sell? The chickens had to be processed to. But your chickens you know were raised with love & tender care. Happy Mothers Day Tina ❤
From a Secondary teacher from Australia, I love the teaching and learning opportunities Parker (whole family) has. I find it fascinating that the people who criticise and judge you, are the 1st to defend/get offended themselves when people criticise/judge or have a different opinion of their life choice. Live your life, and work hard. Love your videos.
We learned how to process chickens from an old timer couple when my kids were in 4H years ago. Best chicken ever and I'd love to do it again. One tip we learned: Put a 5 gal bucket under the cones with a few inches of water in it, and let the blood drip into the buckets. When you're all done, pour that blood water over your garden bed and you've just fertilized your garden. They had the most beautiful irises around from doing this!
I felt pure joy from watching this...and proud, proud as a mother of a daughter who also took on the very important job of dispatching & prepping their own along with another couple...Doing all of this while dealing with problematic health issue & raising loving well adjusted kids is ALOT...yet you "girls" soldier on...i say WELL DONE! I cannot begin to imagine the work involved in all the filming & compiling these videos! I don't think they could be done any better by someone taught & trained to do them. The love & laughter shown in this is so refreshing - the gifts you have gotten are beautiful reminders of gratitude by those who's lives you are touching in UNPRECEDENTED WAYS! THANK YOU seems small in comparison, sending much love & strength from the Midwest 💞 I have to say those are the "happiest" looking meat birds ive ever seen!
I saw your first “whole week in Alaska” video. Just yesterday. I just didn’t think mama would make it. But you did!!! I AM impressed. I LOVE Alaska. I now see you do too.
It is crazy how many people don't understand how the food in the store gets there! Personally I feel raising and growing food for a small community vs the entire country is much better all around. Keep doing you.
I agree with u 💯 Tina. I think it’s great how Parker is getting to live, and he’s raised. There is no difference when ya go hunting deer,turkey,etc. Someone is dispatching those animals and it’s great when a kid gets to learn how this is done. Parker is a great kid, and one day he will be grown and then if he decides tht he wants to live tht life then he will have a huge head start. He will have so much knowledge about how things r done. Joe & Tina r great parents, I feel bad for the kids tht never get to live the country life. Keep doing what u guys r doing, 👍🏻🫶🏻🙏
That de-featherer works amazing. When I was around 12 (over 50+ years ago) my grandparents bought a dozen chickens and we killed and cleaned them. My grandparents were afraid we wouldn't learn how to do this. I remember it taking forever to pull all the chicken feathers and it was such a mess. Nice set up for making that an easier chore.
I was raised doing exactly this and have always appreciated knowing how the process works. I laugh at people who have no clue and think food comes in tidy packages from the store. It's a life skill that everyone should have. Good for you all!
This is my new fave channel. I love that you raise and butcher your own food. Everyone who is squeamish about the process should understand where their walmart chicken comes from, and they might think differently. I do try to buy from local farmers who humanely raise their chickens, pigs, and beef.
Another awesome video Thankyou for taking us along Tina! I stopped eating chicken many years ago as the crap they pump into chickens to plump them up and to keep them on the supermarket shelves for 2 weeks is not meant for humans consumption. So seeing home reared and butchered chicken is very refreshing knowing where the meat was raised etc. Happy (belated) Mother’s Day from the U.K. ❤ 🇬🇧
I grew up with my grandparents raising and dispatching their animals to feed the family, we need to continue to teach these skills to our children and so on. I always appreciate my food because I was apart of their life, growing, and nourishing our bodies. I love your videos ❤ it is true! Ms Tina and Mr Joe you channel is absolutely my favorite you tube channel, and I love Lexies as well. Thank you for the videos you give to us and God bless your family always❤️
MS. TINA!! Your videos are our happy place! One of my granddaughters said a few videos ago: “she’s a perfectionist.” It’s true! “Ain’t nothing wrong with that!” You make everything look so perfect! We love it! Please! Please! Ignore the hatters! This is such a blessing! Raising your own meat! “Kill & eat.” (Acts 10) Wonderful! And everything looked so awesome and fancy! The producers of “LBZ” must be like “wow, these Watsons are amazing!” May The Lord our God keep blessing and protecting you all! We love you! Thank you!
Awww thank you Ms Mirna. This truly means so much to me. It is true, I am a perfectionist, sometimes to a fault. But it’s just who I am. I take that as such a compliment and reflection of my work…so I do appreciate that!❤️
I love you guys and what a great Mothers Day well spent butchering yardbirds! Not many people understand🙄 good job Watson Family😁 Plus love y'all sense humor!!😂😂
That is a lot of work..but it pays off...go Watson's!!! "Happy Mother's Day" Tina!!🎉. Being a mother myself...I also get teared up when you have to hug Lexy goodbye.... I've been there... even though they don't live that far away 😢 it's still hard!! (P.S. I want a cup of coffee ☕ every time I see you make it!!😂)
This is how I was raised. We never bought anything in the store except for what we couldn't raise, or make. People that think this is awful what you are doing need to mind their own business, How do they think they get their meat, poultry or fish. At least you all know how they were raised. Hats off to all of you.
Wish there had been those de-feather thingies when I was a kid! De-feather and tenderize at the same time! How cool! We had to pluck cause Grandma saved the feathers to make feather beds.
Happy Mother's Day to you Tina as well. Keep on living your life & thank you for sharing your family with us. Those chickens looking mighty tasty. It was good to see the whole family together, havent seen Lexxi in a while, lol. God bless your family.
“Are you ready to do this?” -Lexxy: “No.” 😂 She’s as funny as you are, Ms. Tina. You are THE BEST Mom! Yes! Beautiful words from James! He’s a good boy! No one cares about her followers/fans like you do, Ms. Tina. Thank you for always taking the time to respond to us. BEAUTIFUL VIDEO, Ms. Tina! Short (💔) but BEAUTIFUL! Bloopers are ALWAYS too funny!
Thank you Ms Mirna! This was a mid-week “bonus video!” Still planning on having our usual VLOG up this wknd! 2 in 1 week for yall!😘 Thanks for watching! Hope you’re doing well.🫶🏻
For me it is a relative easy thing to think of...If one wants to eat meat, than it is definitively better to know the skills to raise and harvest. And if the whole process is full of respect for the animal, it is better than buying it in the grocery store. Greetings from Nadine from Berlin Germany
Kudos to you all for all your hard work and for teaching your children the process of where your food comes from. Anyone who eats meat is part of the death of an animal so they have no right to throw harsh words. Happy Mothers Day!
Quite the system you have going! I applaud you for sharing your life with us. Nothing tastier than fresh meat. I get a side of beef and it’s delicious!
You know what you don’t have to explain you’re not alone in this lot of homesteaders do this and I am a meat and potatoes kind of woman I fully get it❤❤
Watching this as I am preparing dinner. Steak and baked potatoes. I eat meat and I have known from a very young age where it comes from. I used to visit my grandparents in IA for 2 weeks out of the summer. They were farmers of cattle, pigs and chickens and had 3 fully stocked ponds on their land.
Wow ! Thanks so much for sharing how to process a chicken... You guys are so Inspirational, you are teaching so many of us what is done before we get our chicken at the store....
🌱🌿🌸💕Side note for those who might not already know: The home-grown chickens' feet are also a very healthy beneficial source of nutrition for your dogs, and a wonderful bonus includes a natural way of cleaning their teeth after meals. PS....🙏🏽@Home Free Alaska I love your beautiful dogs!!💖
I learned so much ! And I love to see when the kids come over to eat visit and help you..Good video! Belated happy Mother’s Day. I’m gonna be making chili today.!!🪷🌼🥀🎈🎉🎊💕💯🩷🙌🪻🪅💐🌺🎀🌾🥳🥰❤️
Tina, you and Joe have such a big slice of heaven on your property! Thank you so much for showing us how it's done when one feeds the family ! The blessings you give your children in exposing them to real life is amazing and so heartwarming! This Wyoming Nana just loves your utube channel and all the knowledge you share.

Right?! Pluckin’ is hard work for sure! I did it one time, 25 chickens, by hand. Never again haha!🤣

Love, love the chicken plucker. I'm so glad we made that investment. Goes so much faster than the old hand plucking.
It sure does. It’ll pay for itself over & over again!😊
As much as I would be unable to process any animal, I do appreciate how well you treat the animals and not let any go to waste…. 😊😊

Yaya! Thanks!😊
Great video. Brought back a lot of memories. Thanks for sharing
I don’t understand people watching if they’re going to complain. Some people just have to have something to moan about! Good for you. Real life!
This is so awesome! So much better than buying from the store! Love it!!👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
It really is!😊
Parker is turning into a young man now and I'm glad his dad showing the olden ways of life
Me too.
Yes, I agree. God created ALL things for the use and benefit of man...... bless you
I’m buying my chickens at a local farm and the difference is amazing!
So delicious and “chicken-y.”
Such a difference! Nothing like it.😋
I saw your first “whole week in Alaska” video. Just yesterday. I just didn’t think mama would make it. But you did!!! I AM impressed. I LOVE Alaska. I now see you do too.
I would love to have fresh chicken I raised! I love watching you guys live the good life❤❤❤❤

You just crack me up Tina Happy Mother’s Day love to see the kids helping with chickens great vlogs
Thanks so much!
just like in the older days at the farm thank for sharing
You bet!😊
I love Buttermilk, chili and cornbread. Your chili looks delicious with other vegetables in it.
Thank you so much!

Beautiful Parker with a lovely and honest answer.
He’s being raised by a queen!
He’s going to be a great man!
He’s so smart.🥺❤️
Hi Joe and Tina. Great cool content. Keep it coming. 💯 love you guys

Such a blessing to grow your own to fill your freezers!

I’m amazed how quickly the chickens grow from chick to adulthood. Keep up the great work and thank you again for taking us on this particular journey.

Haha isn’t that funny how it makes you want a cup of coffee too! Does the same thing to me when I see someone enjoying a cup!🤣
You and your overalls on Mrs Tina! It's springtime 😂😂
Great day, done so nicely. Will be tasty come winter. Home made chicken soup don’t get any better. 😊
This is how I was raised. We never bought anything in the store except for what we couldn't raise, or make.

Those birds are huge! More healthy and definitely cheaper.
I’m at the airport in Arkansas. Just sitting here watching chickens getting plucked. You go Watson Family.

For me it is a relative easy thing to think of...If one wants to eat meat, than it is definitively better to know the skills to raise and harvest. And if the whole process is full of respect for the animal, it is better than buying it in the grocery store. Greetings from Nadine from Berlin Germany

Quite the system you have going! I applaud you for sharing your life with us. Nothing tastier than fresh meat. I get a side of beef and it’s delicious!
You know what you don’t have to explain you’re not alone in this lot of homesteaders do this and I am a meat and potatoes kind of woman I fully get it❤❤
Watching this as I am preparing dinner. Steak and baked potatoes. I eat meat and I have known from a very young age where it comes from. I used to visit my grandparents in IA for 2 weeks out of the summer. They were farmers of cattle, pigs and chickens and had 3 fully stocked ponds on their land.
Absolutely nothing wrong living the lifestyle of the Early Americans & then the Colonists!! 💜😀
Very informative on the processing. And I'm glad you had help since it is a lot of work.
Oh my mama! Joe!❤❤❤❤

Wow ! Thanks so much for sharing how to process a chicken... You guys are so Inspirational, you are teaching so many of us what is done before we get our chicken at the store....
🌱🌿🌸💕Side note for those who might not already know: The home-grown chickens' feet are also a very healthy beneficial source of nutrition for your dogs, and a wonderful bonus includes a natural way of cleaning their teeth after meals. PS....🙏🏽@Home Free Alaska I love your beautiful dogs!!💖
One more PS---> my message is also for your cats, who are also beautiful and loved!! Our cat is fed raw (species appropriate) like our dogs are.
Also good for beneficial collagen in homemade chicken broth! Like THE BEST!!
