@@lowespringacres7838 you made the right decision. it blows my mind the things that are being FORCED into k-12 these days. and the parents are vilified when they speak up. and i remember a certain "sleepy" guy identifying parents like this as domestic t e rr o r i s t s. just WOW! T24!
Dispatching and cleaning chickens was my chore when I was a kid. I haven’t done this in decades. Thanks for reminding me that this is a skill I still need to have.
Much Respect!!! First time I have seen this done. That is a true ART and you gave them the Love of Jesus on their way out, giving their lives for others. ❤
I have been contemplating butchering my own chickens. My husband works too and I have been trying to take on more responsibility for the farm. I have never seen anyone to this on their own. I love the assembly line Idea even if I do have help seems more efficient and less time. Thank you so much. Just happened upon this video and so glad I did. God Bless you and all your endeavors. By the way You Chicken cow is so beautiful
What a fantastic tutorial. My Grandma processes her own chickens and I wanted to do it more like her and the family. This is perfect. I'm a new fan and follower just from this. Thank you.
I am a 72-year-old Aussie woman and when I was young we always processed our own chickens and I have a very vivid memory of the smell from the scalding. There was no getting out of helping. The cones are a better idea than Grandad laying the chook (Aussie slang for chicken) on the block and cutting the heads of. I also vividly remember the chook who ran around the yard with no head. My aunt had a farm in the Riverina district of NSW and she would get an order for chickens I remember my mum helping her and the mess we had. She would normally do it on her own, and keeping the water up to temp was a feat for her. She would do ten to twelve each time. Your method is truly streamlined and so clean. Wish you were a neighbour I would certainly be ordering from you.
I'm 71, and your experience sounds like my own. I'm from Michigan, USA. We were raised very humbly, being very poor, and if we didnt raise it or grow it, we didnt eat. My Dad was an country minister, and raised us 9 kids. We were rich in faith and belief in God!! Be blessed!!
Some of us still cry everytime...thankful greatful and it still hard to kill something you've loved, fed and raised daily.... I'm 56 I never have gotten used to doing this...
We did our first 2 doz late last summer and have another 2 doz 3 weeks old. Its not for everyone, but apparently, it is for us. They are terrific tasting and it helps knowing what they were fed and how nice a life they had.
Fantastic video, had no clue to processing, kudos to you and your family for making my chicken meals possible. Process was humane, clean and efficient. Thank you.
I just found your channel. I hit subscribe immediately 😄 I wish I were closer to help you and learn to harvest my own chickens. I offer around here to help on our local chicken pages. I don’t want any of their harvest. I just want to learn, hands on. No one ever has taken me up on my offer. 😓 I love that you give glory to the Lord for blessing you. 🙏❤️
How sad - we have had several people and groups come learn how when we lived in KY and they left with chickens because it is fair - all the work they put in when we are doing 50 to 100 chickens in a few hours . . .
I've been pondering this for a while now. It's basically just me and a couple of grand boys ...maybe...that could/would help. This tutorial with your purposeful & intentional demeanor toward your birds and the process has helped tremendously. Now I just have to raise the birds and aquire equipment. It's all a noble investment. TY!
If you have the cones - a 55 gallon bucket cut so the bottom gets the blood and a board goes across the top to hold the cone over the barrel (cut it vertically leaving about 1 foot on the bottom to catch everything) , if you have a big pot full of water over a camp stove and a thermometer, sharp knives, a cooler, a table, you can do it without a lot of cash outlay - we did for many years and sold our turkeys and chickens. We now have the scalder but have never used it because it is 220 and we did use the plucker - but the protected button broke and it still needs fixed but we use it anway - just doesn't stay on without holding it in. The broilers really have few feathers and they come off so easy compared to dual purpose breeds in my opinion.
Great video. Very detailed. Not butchered chickens yet but Working up my bravery to do it as I watch more videos on how to. 64 years old, just started my own Homestead 5 years ago, now have 40 hens and 28 goats, and do I mostly by myself, but since hamstring injury I have helper 2 hours a day. I also have full Time job. I remember when i was a kid playing at gran mothers and seeing headless chickens hanging on close line. Freaked me out, and granny said, OH, you weren't supposed to see that. Lol.
If i lived closer to you i would definitely help you with chickens. As a kid, we did chickens on my grandmas farm. I think it is a relaxing process. She complimented me on how clean my chicken was. She marked that chicken & we had a special supper. I was only 7 years old. Thank you for sharing
New subscriber here from "So. California" really liked your show reminds me of my grandparents here L.A. harvesting chickens, goats, hogs, turkey meat. Keep up the good work & may the goodness of God continue to be upon you.
We butchered 10 chickens today. It was only our 2nd time to do it, so I got on here to watch you. They are already cooled off, vacuum sealed, and in the freezer! Thank you for the review.
I'm going to be processing my first batch with my two little this weekend. I haven't done it since I was a teenager. This was a great video perfect refresher for me. Thank you!❤
I can smell that hot water on those feathers. We just plucked the chickens without scalding them. What a job. Guess the last time I cleaned any was in the mid 90s. Your process is so much easier but we didn’t do as many as you said you do early. I’d ran away from home 😂 I love watching your videos. Wish my day was still alive to see them.
Subscribed because you have the same morals I do about my birds. They get to live a good normal life right up to the minute. Its emotionally hard for me to do mine, but it such a blessing to feed your own family.
Impressive operation and determination, nicely done. Tough job by yourself, even tougher trying to film everything. On that scalder, water takes a whole load of heat to warm up for every single degree. If you have water heater in your house, fill every big pot you have and put the pots on the stove. Fill your scalder with the water off your stove and from your water heater as much as possible. You can save a lot of time and propane. And please slide a couple empty buckets or something over the end of those fork tines on the tractor, that is just painful to even think about taking one of those to the teeth. Excellent work, much respect!
Thank you for this film i use to help my mom when i was a kid i grew up on the farm now back on a small farm getting ready to start with chickens again so thank you for the re teach
Nothing like homegrown fresh chicken. I grew up on my grandparents farm and we had free-range guinea and chickens. Grandma would bait and catch them, butcher and cook them the same day. You have got it down to a science with that equipment since you do so many per year. Great informative video...thanks for sharing.
I love the word “doohickey”! This looks like hard work, including all that preparation. I bet the chickens are good eating, too. God Bless you and your family and farm.
You made it look very easy, but I would have to have a lot of practice! You did a good job. In their retirement years, my grandparents bought a small farm. My grandfather could never sit still, always had to be doing something. He was retired from the Army and had fought in WWII and Vietnam. Saw a lot of action. But when he got on that farm he could do anything except process those chickens! After a year they sold it and he worked for the highway department for a few years and then finally retired. He was still on the move until he passed away from cancer (caused by agent orange). He never regretted leaving those chickens to someone else. Bless you and your family!
This lady is a helluva HAND. I 'spect her old man thanks God every day that he has a regular job, and doesn't have to participate. I'm almost 70 and never had to do this. We lived in the country, sorta, but didn't raise that many chickens; I remember seeing my Mama wringing a neck or two, but never watched her clean one. If I had to do this, you couldn't afford one of my chickens, I ain't lying..... Great video, thank you.
Loved it , I’m a hunter and I fish ! I’ve put up my own chicken 🍗 there’s no better taste. 🙏 ❤ Thank you for sharing your process. All the Glory be to God.
I loved this. I am in the heart of a big city and started this year buying chicks, built a big coop in the backyard and raised them up and are starting to get good amounts of eggs. I accidently bought a Rooster in the mix of the chicks so im trying to learn how to get ready if i need to raise up meat birds and process them. I was saved in 2014 after over a decade in drugs and crime and Jesus Christ blessed me with 2 little girls whom i have custody of and they love our birds and i will only go the meat route if life calls for it but i love the intended way of Gods creation. I loved the video, God bless and i pray for this country it is going down hill fast.
Loved your video I've harvested a lot of chickens in my 64 years of life I will say that your method is very impressive and you're right there's nothing better than a homegrown chicken fresh pasture-raised I used to finish mine on sweet corn but I couldn't sell because of the Corn bore used to say it was turning edible into a non-edible
Good Job👍Thanks for all the tips!!next time save the liver, put it in some milk for a few hours, throw away milk, fry onions and the liver, poor in cream spices soya sauce - delicious 😋😋😋 Love from Lena Sweden
Great tutorial. We save the livers and hearts also, my daughter loves them, chicken steak she calls them. Usually we eat them on processing day, so fresh. Thanks again, great work
Remember, most of our grandmas did this with a wood fire and a big kettle. My mamma used to dip hers in hot water and wax to feather chickens. That was supposed to make the chickens easier to pluck. This was before Meagan's gizmo. I'm having fun watching your vlog.
Quite the setup! I would help my grandparents do chickens. Grandpa would chop off their heads then my sister and I took them to get scalded, I helped pluck, my mom singed the chickens and grandma started butchering. Grandpa would buy 50 fryers in the spring and another 50 old hens later on all to go in the freezers.
This was an awesome video. I am encouraged. Usually we process 50 a day and it's so much work, I like that you have it set up like that so someone like myself could do 5 or 10 a day solo.
Thank you for this very informative demonstration of the homesteader's processing of chickens, Megan! I have new appreciation for the work and the process. God bless you for your willing to share part of your life work with us.
Thank you.. l now live off grid, since my husband passed away, and trying to learn all aspects of surviving and growing, breeding all your food and the butchering is part of eating meat.. l appreciate your help and advice in this area but sadly I am in Australia, otherwise I would willingly come over and help and learn..
There was never a dull moment around my house growing up. On Chicken Butchering Day, my dad would hold up one of the chickens and yell for my aunt to come out of the house. She'd freak out and run back inside. We kids were responsible for chasing and bringing back the headless clothesline chickens when they ran to the lot next door. SMH, lol.
Thank you for remembering GOD ..the blessings HE gives us is beyond measure.. Thank you for thinking of the chickens...to dispatch them in a painless humane manner is of the utmost importance..to be able to provide food for your family and yourself is amazing.. You have amazing strength (and I don't mean physical).. I hope we can all continue to learn and thrive even if we all don't live the same lifestyle..as always prayers and
I don’t have chickens and don’t plan to get any, but this was so interesting. I had never seen those two pieces of equipment before. That plucker is amazing.
New subscriber. I get it!! I just cant believe your doing 100 by yourself! If l wasn't in Scottsdale AZ, I'd be right next to you helping. God bless you and many prayers 🙏🏻 Nurse Judi ☦️ in Scottsdale and Eucharistic Minister. 🙏🏻
Megan you have got a great set up for processing the chickens. Next time I get to many roosters running around, instead of selling or giving them away, I'll know exactly what to do with them.Thanks Megan and you all have a Good Evening 🙂.
Very thankful to have come across this video !!! It is so good and done in such away to not be overwhelming but natural !!! I wish I lived closer (lower Alabama) so that I could come by and learn first hand !!! After seeing this video I am no longer fearful of the butchering process !!! Thank you and God bless 😊
Geez, just found you! I’ve never processed chicken but always our own beef, venison, dove, squirrel, etc. I have laying hens for eggs only but now you have me thinking. We are beef cattle raisers but looking to diversify on the homestead
Dual purpose hens with a rooster is what you need. Hatch out some early spring. In the fall you can harvest the older hens and extra roosters and you end up consistently with young layers and meat in the cupboard.
New person here…I’ve always wanted to learn this process. Thanks for the “how to” video. Excellent 😊 What feed to you give your meat birds….hopefully organic and zero pesticides too. Wow what a cool go go gadget to pull off the feathers. Nice work 👍🏼 Jesus Christ is King. Amen 🙏🏻
videos like this should be MANDATORY in all schools, in place of all the 'stuff' they are teaching our children these days.
That's why I home schooled mine. 😊

how can ya make good slaves of em if ya teach em stuff like where food comes from
100%
Kids need to know where their food comes from.
This is what youtube used to be and should still be. Great information. It's a shame they make certain vital parts be cut out.
😂😂😂 I'm watching this on UA-cam

You are a fantastic teacher. Patient, through and not rushed. Way to go Sister.
Much Respect!!!
First time I have seen this done.
That is a true ART and you gave them the Love of Jesus on their way out, giving their lives for others. ❤
My grandpa butchered his own meats BUT yes he cared for them & taught us to respect the animals and the process.
You actually kill them at 6-8 weeks? I thought they supposed to live out half their natural life before they were killed.
@@kizziah7777 well you thought wrong.
We learned real.quick not to name them!
❤❤❤
I love how the child is in the background just chatting away! Teach em young where the food really comes from!❤
New subscriber here. I love the way you give glory to the Lord for your chickens. Your amazing thank you for this video

Thanks Megan, I really appreciate you showing us city folks how to dress a chicken!

Geez, just found you! I’ve never processed chicken but always our own beef, venison, dove, squirrel, etc. I have laying hens for eggs only but now you have me thinking. We are beef cattle raisers but looking to diversify on the homestead
Dual purpose hens with a rooster is what you need. Hatch out some early spring. In the fall you can harvest the older hens and extra roosters and you end up consistently with young layers and meat in the cupboard.
Nothing better than living off the land
