After you butcher your first free range chicken you notice how
screwed up the bodies of factory farmed chickens are.
Organic chicken is gamey and they have strong bones the factory
farmed chickens have under developed muscles and osteoporosis
If you’re a beginner, you should see the graphic part.
Chicken butchering is graphic.
Watching others butcher, and kind of desensitizing yourself to the “graphic” part is, in my opinion, more important than a lot of the technical stuff.
The technical stuff is the easy part. You can look that up in a book.
You don’t want to witness dispatch, and entrails the first time you butcher.
The emotional aspect, and the gross aspect are the part that takes mental stamina.
Killing, and gutting is the hard part.
Many people may not realistically have a bunch of equipment, however everyone has to kill and gut.
I use a milk jug, and pluck them on a string.
It works. Didn’t cost a dime.
milk jug for what?

Your kids are so much like you. Thanks for bringing us along.
My herding mentor recently got a rooster because all but 1 of her hens had been killed. She's said I could have most any rooster that she hatches to butcher. I'm looking forward to the possibility of actually getting to butcher chickens for the first time.
I grew up on a subsistence farm and one of our main ways to make money was through birds usually butchering 100 at a time. Sometimes all chickens but sometimes a mix of chickens, ducks and geese for our use and customers.
The boys were in charge of catching the bird, attaching the hook to their legs and handing to mom who would chop off the head and hook it on the clothesline and give it a push down the line (so it wouldn't be spattering blood on her back while they clapped. By the time they migrated down the line to us girls they would have bled out and quit flapping.
We would dunk in hot water and pluck them and then hook them to a second clothesline and give it a good push again and grab another bird.
When mom got through dispatching she would grab the bird off that second line and singe off any "hairs" and hand off to one of the boys who would squirt off with the hose to remove any ash or debris before hooking on a third line to cool (only butchered in November and March when it was cold out.
The other 2 boys would empty the feather tub on compost pile, add wood to fire, dump dirty scalding water and refill and if needed start helping with the plucking. The worst thing we could do was to make mom wait for birds.
When mom finished she would go to the makeshift table at the end of the third clothesline and begin the actual cleaning out. There were separate bowls for hearts, liver, gizzards and the internal eggs and egg sacs if any. Mom would slice open the gizzards and toss them on the table for the oldest brother and sister to clean out, rinse and toss in the gizzard bowls. When one of the bowls was full it meant there was enough of that item for a meal and the oldest 2 would empty it on a strip of butcher paper and wrap it up to go in the freezer (we kept all organ meat unless someone requested it. Don't remember anyone wanting it back then as it was considered poor people food. The 2 oldest would wrap some of the birds but most were wrapped by mom.
The rest of us kids had to put out the fires and break down and clean up the other work stations then could go play.
Wasn't until I grew up that I began to appreciate how much of that process mom did, or her organization to have everything go as smoothly as it did.
that plucker is the coolest machine ever.
We butchered a 5 month old rooster, because we can't have roosters were we live in CT. It was tough as shoe leather. Ended up using to make chicken stock. Made me wonder what we did wrong. Do you need to age the chicken? Or freeze it first ? Can't seem to find any information
First they ban rooster fighting
Then they ban roosters
city folk are disgusting
Rooster fighting is banned because it's cruel to purposefully let roosters fight to the death, and the reason roosters are not allowed in the city is because they are loud and when your in a city it's annoying to neighbors.
Perfectly normal, roosters tend to be more gamey/tough. Perfect for stocks, soups or oven dishes with a long coockingtime. You can castrate them and then they become a "kapoen" (that's what we call it in dutch)
Your question made me think and I went and looked it up. I'm not an expert by any means. But it looks like the consensus is that roosters are tough and gamey, and its the hens that come out all soft and yummy.

Ok city slicker be happy "saving the chickens" while letting the
police kill them and eating your mutant hormonally modified garbage.
My mom use to hang them on the clothes line 60 years ago
I've followed you for a while. My family is Ag, but grew up in city. I love homesteading, gearing up with learning what i missed or didn't want to do. At this stage, I'm ready. I was so squeamish in the beginning STILL, but damn you nailed how to break it all down 100% perfectly! Confidence growing. If the kids can...ugh. Thanks for all your knowledge sharing!
Awesome Lisa, I made this video specifically for ones in your shoes, wanting to do it but still a little “squeamish”... I actually was originally going to call it “chicken butcher video for the squeamish “
@@Homesteadyshow That would of been a great title too. Either way, THANK YOU for helping us 'get there'. ☺
Hey do you think you could do a video on what livestock can go together and which can’t? I heard rabbits and chickens go together good and that’s great for my minimalist yard! Live your content and really learning a lot!
Rabbits and chickens?? I would think the chickens would eat any kits...
Nice work! And I get such a kick from watching your helpers! I was around their age when I learned to help my dad clean ducks we hunted. Wonderful memories and great life lessons.
It's a good thing that the chickens in the 'waiting room' didn't speak English ('killing cone', 'carassel of death')...😅😅😅
I am loving watching your videos. Very helpful and educational. Can’t wait to try it.
I did have a helpful hint. If you put a cookie sheet or foil on the rack under the birds you wouldn’t have much clean up in the freezer 👍
Welcome to youtube! Where they allow uncensored breastfeeding videos but everything else is NOT ok!
I couldn't help but notice, during your intro talk, the duck and chicken behind you to your right doing their best to stay under the radar LOL
Ugh 😔 watching your channel is making me realize how domesticated I have become.
I lost my drink when you said "butthole" the first time 😂😂🤣🤣🤣
Can you please amke a video showing how to do a chicken that tou skin first, for those of use who do noy want the skin?
This is helpful. Way fancier than my mom and I with a ladder and a orange safety cone hanging from it haha. Giant pot of water on the back grill. And nephews to help with plucking. Whatever works to feed the family haha. Thanks for sharing this y’all. I’m always trying to learn to make it easier on me and the birds.
Don't feel bad I used the ladder a few times but that grows old fast.
You can tell I use to TA a dissection lab in college because I'm planning future comparative anatomy lessons for my kids while watching this haha!
I have a few college AP classes under my belt but no other real biology education, just a fascination with animals and anatomy. I took my grandson on a hike on Mt Hood and we found scat. I don't know enough to identify the animal but we concluded it was a predator a bit smaller than him based on fur in the scat and the diameter. I am hoping the state parks open their yurts soon so I can take him for a few days.
Great job👍 Your kids are adorable!
Did you piss off youtube? I don't get notifications from you anymore.
Chris, UA-cam is the worst about that. Sign up to my email list I do weekly emails with our latest stuff www.thisishomesteady.com/join-homesteady-movement/
I know when I harvested our Rhode Island Red males that my hand was so big to reach up in there. Is that common for the breed or that it was a male trait? These chicken were not small at all.
What is better, shrink wrapping or flash freezing? If you did both would it be like extra mile crazy fresh?
Why don't you put a baking sheet under the drip-drying chickens? It would catch the drippings and make for less disinfecting later.
I'm glad your ready for Winter with your Chickens All prepared!
Great job you Guys🙌💥🐦
JO JO IN VT 💕😄
Use those chicken feet for stock, it's lots of great collagen very good for gut and general health. The dogs love it too.
...big, fat, juicy chicken!...Great Job kids!
Where can I see the full video? Since the most important parts are cut out?
Thanks for sharing I've been looking how to process chicken.
what a great skill a young kid could learn! Smart boy!
We do a 1.000 chickens a day.8.000 a year and a 1.000 turkeys
Very efficient from start to finish. Great job.
I like your set up. I did a butchering video a few weeks ago, but I don't like the cone method. I find it to slow of a kill for me. I use the CD - broomstick - method instead and know the bird or other animal has died instantly. You had some great shots and awesome clear instructions. Thanks for sharing!
Could you explain your method for a newbie?
@@darleneclark6098 I have it detailed on a video over on my channel. I'd rather not discuss details on someone else's channel when he specifically said he was keeping it off of his videos. :)
Thank you for sharing 🙏🏻
nice to see the young men getting it done👍
Will you ever do turkeys
hello great video. how did you make the bird spinner or where did you get it at
Did you ever find out?
Thank you so much for sharing I enjoy your videos my ten-year-old son and I have done all of our meat birds this summer we do them in small batches of about 6 to 10 Birds throughout the summer and fall and we do it all old school by hand.
What a great education for your son! We did it that way for years! Keep it up Nichole!
@@Homesteadyshow thank you we've been homesteading most of his life he's definitely one of my right hand helpers even though he's the youngest of the bunch
Hey aust, I signed up for my pioneer membership and it still won’t let me watch any of the videos. I used PayPal to set up the payments, and they sent me an email confirmation. Any ideas?
Also this was after I logged in
Oh no! So sorry for the trouble! Can you email me aust@thisishomesteady.com with your email you signed up with and I’ll get it fixed ASAP!
@@Homesteadyshow thank you so much I definitely will!
"non graphic chicken butcher video"
Proceeds to autoplay clip of several headless birds, spinning around in a plucking machine.
Wolfbird Homestead actually, the heads are still on in the plucker.
Your a homesteader and complaining about dead animals? 🤔
@@jljb45 vegan homestead? 😂😂
@@jljb45 never made a complaint.
Just informing that this "NON GRAPHIC" video, auto played on my feed
- starting with featherless corpses bouncing around inside a machine.
@@moniquem783 you can still enjoy eggs and cheese without killing an animal. 🤭
