There's kind of a subtle joke in here that many won't get. They discuss the bird being a heritage breed and 100% organic, also male. The chicken that is shown is a female Isa Brown. The amusing thing here is that Isa Browns are a designer breed created by Hendricks Genetics for use as battery hens. They also have no meat on them and are incredibly poorly suited to eating. The bird is the furthest thing from what it's being described as and serves to illustrate that we have no bloody clue what we eat and don't care as long as it sounds fancy and ethical.
I mentioned today (and grossed someone out) that we only eat female birds. My partner didn't want any idea on what happens to the males after sexing... And it's "Hendrix" by the way. Don't want readers going on a wild goose hunt (pun intended...) :P
Huh, you're right. Hendrix. What the Hell, brain? You know better. My bad, thanks for catching that. Yeah that practice of immediately euthanizing male chicks is part of why I got into farming in the first place. I found commercial farming practices unethical and I knew there was a better way. We raise all of our male chickens to adulthood and eat *only* male birds. Our female birds are allowed to lead very long, healthy and productive lives. Most commercial egg laying birds are rehomed or euthanized at or around 18 months. Most of my birds are going on 6 and 7 years old and still lay regularly despite the assertion that they shouldn't. It turns out that if you attend to the nutritional needs of elderly birds properly they DO continue to lay for most of their lives.

I’ve never seen an actress ever act so accurately like a waitress in a she or film. Usually, they are told to act sassy or weird in some way. This actress captures the exact vibe and tone of voice of a good server.
I am from portland and still live here and oh my god this is not really exaggeraited at all lol people here are actualy like this i laugh so hard at them
Did you all know this was the first skit in the very first episode of Portlandia ever. I was sitting and just watching tv one night and saw the show was coming on, and being an Oregon native, wondered what it was. Actually it was the second skit after the opening of Carrie in L.A. and then the dream of the 90s is alive in Portland opening, then the Colin chicken skit.
I'm a cook. The server walked into the kitchen one night and said the customer wanted to know where the pickerel was from. I was like, "ok, hold on," and I ran to the freezer, found the box, and it said it was from.....drum roll....Kazakhstan! I kid you not - Kazakhstan! I have no idea how there is money in flash freezing pickerel in Kazakhstan and shipping it to Canada when we have literally millions of lakes full of them here. And yet, that pickerel was from Kazakhstan.
LoL - I am right there with you! For me it was because of a tick bite that led to gluten free dairy free (and for a time sugar free) diet. - feel the same - what happened?!
@@SandraFowler then why is it named Collin? Collin is a man's or in this case, possibly rooster's name. Wait I just offended trans chickens by assuming colin's gender. I resign from the internet.
i genuinely wonder if this took forever to shoot and i’m mainly talking about the scene when fred says “and and and and” like idk how tf they coulda kept a straight face or stay in character cuz i would lost my shit lmao
More about the chicken: there actually are places that will tell you about the chicken's diet etc. I know a butcher who goes through a speech about how the meat is organic, free range etc. when I just want some sausages or steaks.
I see and hear these type of people everywhere in Vancouver! I laughed so hard especially for "Is this local?" "What kind of Organic?" and "Sorry to interrupt but I have the same question"
I would probably find this funny if I hadn't met the kinda people they are exaggerating in the skit in real life. I'm just kinda angry after watching it. I swear that if I ever go out to eat with someone like that, they are getting punched in the face....
Colin has led a much more pleasant life than I have. (So I guess he had far more to live for than me. I can only conclude that we should end the senseless taboo against cannibalism: eat the poor and disenfranchised -- spare the poultry of affluence!)
"Here's the chicken you'll be enjoying tonight." But they haven't actually said they wanted the chicken, they just wanted more information. This really bothers me.
ALSO: why would a reliable chicken farmer feed SOY to the birds? That stuff is garbage. I remember this skit from several years ago. I thought it was funny then. Nowadays I shell out $4 for a dozen PASTURE-RAISED eggs. But they’re higher in nutrients, and the chickens spend their days outside, eating grass and worms and bugs. Do I need to go visit Carol’s farm to verify this? Umm, hold my comment, I’ll be back soon.
I wonder if the people who actually care about this stuff, realize they're making sure the chickens were happy before they eat them. Very strange thing to be concerned about. Just a thought.

This is the most intelligent thing I have ever read on a youtube comment.
Eric James This is one of the few times I haven't been insulted for being intelligent and/or a woman on UA-cam. :|
It's a terrible place in the UA-cam comments section
"I'm sorry to interrupt. I had exactly the same question."
Bruh...
My favorite quotes: "I'm sorry to interrupt. I had the exactly the same question."
and
"I am so weird with that gas pedal. That thing just moves the whole vehicle forward and..."
Mine is "we are doing right thing."
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Why is he interrupting if he had the same question? Couldn't he just hang back and wait for it to be answered--no interruption necessary.
@@HisWordisLife4U that’s the joke!
@@kevinduckett8751 Yes. I know.
I’ve never seen an actress ever act so accurately like a waitress in a she or film. Usually, they are told to act sassy or weird in some way. This actress captures the exact vibe and tone of voice of a good server.
I thought the same thing
Yeah she absolutely killed it.
If the waitress was pretentious too, it’d be more funny
Well you know if she's really an actress in Portland she probably is a waitress too.
His name was Colin, here are his papers.
🤣😅🤣
I am from portland and still live here and oh my god this is not really exaggeraited at all lol people here are actualy like this i laugh so hard at them
The Whiplash you must be joking?
I know I'm from Portland too
Wanna move elsewhere?
ummm no. It's exaggerated. That is the whole point. That is what makes it funny
"...and..and...and...and" lol!
Mitzi73 that line gets me every time.
I came back to watch this scene just for that haha!! I LOVE IT!
+Yayatime haha Same!
Woody Allen vibe
im going to ask you one more time, this is local?
Sorry - going to have to interupt you there, but I have exactly the same question.

oh christ, instant flashback to my days as a waiter -___-
"His name was Collin. Here are his papers..." DEAD!! LOL! Hilarious.
She doesn't know if she can speak to that level of intimacy about Colin.
Fantastic! Love it! Lets hope the rest of the country catches up with Portland!

But were the hazelnuts local damnit?!?
And were they Certified(TM) Organic ?
"Thank you for buying me that bag the other day."
"Ehrrr, come on, it's more for me than you."
The face that the waitress had all these answers demonstrates why being a server sucks.
I'm a server & this is painstakingly accurate but ultimately you count your money and go home. And watch Portlandia/offset your existential crise(s)
Underrated line “I’m so weird with that gas pedal it just moves the whole car forward”
The delivery on that line kills me 😂😂
I live in Austin. Totally get this. And we are weirder that Portland. Fight me.
This scene nailed it!
I love how the dealbreaker had to do with chicken friendships :P
This was a great episode! So Portland!
She doesn't know if she can speak to that level of intimacy.
NOW they are getting a little too personal? Just now?
They go to the farm and there’s a cult and they join it
Laughing so hard, but I work in Portland, and I believe this is almost reality.
Two year ago I laughed my ass of at this...today, THIS IS MY LIFE! what happened!?!?!?!
you weren't objective enough. and listened to your friends.
You spend too much time with libtards.
you became the hack
LoL - I am right there with you! For me it was because of a tick bite that led to gluten free dairy free (and for a time sugar free) diet. - feel the same - what happened?!
Asia Malina you drank the kool-aid.
Its hilarious to see how extreme these characters evolved in their mannerisms from this episode(first episode) to the final season LMAO
"im going to ask you one more time, is it local!"
It tears at the core of my being....
LOL!!! "I'm sorry to interrupt but I had the same exact question"
background music is off the charts good, anyone got a track name?
Sorry to interrupt, but I had exactly the same question
Never mind that the picture of Colin is actually a rooster which are almost never eaten for meat.
That photo is a hen, not a rooster.
@@SandraFowler then why is it named Collin? Collin is a man's or in this case, possibly rooster's name.
Wait I just offended trans chickens by assuming colin's gender.
I resign from the internet.
i genuinely wonder if this took forever to shoot and i’m mainly talking about the scene when fred says “and and and and” like idk how tf they coulda kept a straight face or stay in character cuz i would lost my shit lmao
If you haven't been to Portland, this is not MUCH of an exaggeration
Yeah... Freaks like that are all you see in this sewer. I'll be out of here in two months thank god.
It's like that in any sizeable, heavily liberal city in the US.
Portland, Austin, Bay Area, Williamsburg Brooklyn
What horrible 😐
dorpth Thank. I’ll know where not to ever visit.
"I'm sorry to interrupt, i had exactly the same question." ROFL!!!!!!!!
haha this is a funny question but is the joke bc its rude that he would interrupt w the same question? I really want to know lol!
Funniest show ever!
When they get to the chicken farm is even more hilarious!
The restaurant is named "Gilt". J'aime tellement cette double entendre!
I just saw in the next city over from mine there's a restaurant in the fancy area called Gilt. Lol.
Dude, does anybody know the season episode, when they were apologizing over and over? That shit had Me crying, but I can't find it anywhere! 😂😂😂
Are people really like this?
Yes. Its annoying as fuck.
"His name was Colin..."
Dead.
i watched Food Inc. now I completely understand this.
+Eva Terry About how dumb these kind of people are. Organic, especially crops, is the biggest scam ever.
I'm sorry to interrupt, I had exactly the same question. XD
This is my favorite couple ever. They are soooooo weird.
what season and episode
i really like this show and and an an an an anananananan an an an anananananananaanananan chicken
I still think about this scene.
omg where's after part!!! they actually visit the farm
This is hilarious! THe part the table and saysaitch Hickers guide to the Galaxy, when the cow comes to ' Hi!, I'll be the thing you are going to eat!"
My first waitress job(I'm 71) I did a lunch rush, took orders and failed to put table #'s on the checks. Man, those Greeks are picky. lol
0:32 "Yeah...... what's the deal with the chicken?????"
Adore this show.
made me want to retire in Portland at 32. I'm ready
How do you prepare the chicken?
It's very simple: we explain it it is going to die.
More about the chicken: there actually are places that will tell you about the chicken's diet etc. I know a butcher who goes through a speech about how the meat is organic, free range etc. when I just want some sausages or steaks.
Has the chicken been sprayed with pesticides?
are you sure this isn't a documentary?
his
name
was
collin
The pretentiousness in how he asks if it’s local with the chin on palm posture is so spot on.
30 miles? I think he's talking about my town.
Funny for about 35 seconds, then you want to reach through the TV and throw them all out the door.
They killed Colin !!
potugadu ...the ladies said he had the breast little pecker.
The bastards!
I see and hear these type of people everywhere in Vancouver! I laughed so hard especially for "Is this local?" "What kind of Organic?" and "Sorry to interrupt but I have the same question"
Washington or BC? Actually scratch that because Vancouver is mostly franchises
I would probably find this funny if I hadn't met the kinda people they are exaggerating in the skit in real life. I'm just kinda angry after watching it. I swear that if I ever go out to eat with someone like that, they are getting punched in the face....
MetroidMaster same here
Colin has led a much more pleasant life than I have.
(So I guess he had far more to live for than me. I can only conclude that we should end the senseless taboo against cannibalism: eat the poor and disenfranchised -- spare the poultry of affluence!)
Lol the battery hen identifies as a rooster lol
Lol lol lol lol lol lol lol
Sorry to interrupt but I have the exact same question. Hahahaha
I don't know about anyone else but I like to know the name of the animal I'm eating!
Yeah, pretty much the way it is...why not give up the chicken? Vegetarian and vegan options are a fact at most places in Portland.
It's just the whole gas pedal moves the car forward...
this is so hilarious...
R.I.P. Colin
Unfortunately I had to sit through the "A Good Day to Die Hard" preview to see this. Nothing is worth that.
I’m sorry to interrupt I have the exact same question
Four acres of free roaming area? I refuse to eat chicken unless it was raised in five acres of roaming area.
four acres... and they still look concerned lol
"Here's the chicken you'll be enjoying tonight." But they haven't actually said they wanted the chicken, they just wanted more information. This really bothers me.
Sad to hear whats become of Portland, it could have been cool, but we see what crazy people do to any place...
This is Portland.
dyu dyu dyudyudyu dyu dyu dyu...charge by the letter?
The first Portlandia clip I ever saw! Gosh these guys have fun being obnoxious!
and and and and and and and and and and you have a good relationship with this farm?
ALSO: why would a reliable chicken farmer feed SOY to the birds? That stuff is garbage.
I remember this skit from several years ago. I thought it was funny then.
Nowadays I shell out $4 for a dozen PASTURE-RAISED eggs.
But they’re higher in nutrients, and the chickens spend their days outside, eating grass and worms and bugs.
Do I need to go visit Carol’s farm to verify this?
Umm, hold my comment, I’ll be back soon.
I've never experienced this....:3
Watch MOJO got me here lol
same here !
This show is utter bullshit. And that’s the point… and I love it.
This people are hilarious!
People love to ask Waitresses stupid questions
"i'm just a guy"
This is that 'extreme' chicken vetting that Trump advocated. Colin has a dossier.
haha! YES! :)
Exactly. Chicken orderers make terrible vegans.
Missing the rest of it where they visit the farm and end up joining a cult.
No to put to finer a point on it but Portlandia is funny.
I'm a helicopter.
Poor Colin :(
Hi-la-ri-ous!
ahn ahn ahn ahn ahn ehn ehn ehn ehn ahn ahn
I’ve met Vegans like this workin at amazon, he always looked hungry and I always ate meat infront of him
Believe it or not,creatures like those exist…
Poor waitress, dealing with such customers. She acted really smart, though. I was impressed.
I wonder if the people who actually care about this stuff, realize they're making sure the chickens were happy before they eat them. Very strange thing to be concerned about. Just a thought.
Shut up incel
Portlandia commune
Oh god
