Of all the chicken butcher videos. Yours are the ones I study. You make it look so effortless and your birds turn out perfect.

Fantastic to see a video about processing older laying hens with details on the difference between them and young cockerels. Thanks for your time!

[BrianHAviation]

Great video. I grew up doing this with my grandpa but needed a refresher. I really appreciate the details. You taught me so things grandpa neglected to.

[berkeleymorrison]

wow that was really really educational. I learned much more than what I actually came for!

Just finished a couple of my chickens going by your instructions. Thank you it made the process much easier. This video is a keeper.

[jamesmosier]

Excellent husbandry, manner and instructions in all three videos - thank you!

[marianneporter]

Awesome! We do broilers but I did not know what the inside of a laying hen looked like or how much more labor intensive they were.

Wish you had a video of you cooking an older hen. Enjoyed the video. Art

This is the best how to video I have seen! I just did my first rooster and had some difficulties with removing the neck so I came to watch before doing another one. I think I just need a sharper knife cuz you made it look so easy lol!

I uncomfortably laughed so hard when he grabbed an egg and said “There’s an egg fully formed! She was going to lay that in the morning or something!” Hahahah reality hits you like a bus sometimes!


Super Glad we’re on top of the food chain and we’re made in Gods image!😂

Thanks for sharing. Im getting ready to harvest my first broilers this weekend. Probably try 3 the first day.

[marcustheodocius]

Dude. you have an awesome channel. If you ever offer any apprenticeships then I am your man.

[stalstonestacy]

Another great one! I feel like I am learning so much from you. And I just have to say, I love your little orange kitty. He seems like he enjoys snacks 😆 So does mine

[ltfudd]

Thanks. Just culled my first layer. Not fun, but video was a great help

[bobwalker]

So, you leave the lungs and wind pipe in the carcass?

[cleverkimscurios]

Well, we just hatched some mutt birds to raise as layers and to eat as we decide to butcher them, so this is perfect timing.

[jayrobertson]

Great tutorial, very interesting, information, explanation!

[katherinepoindexter]

I don't like chicken livers, or chicken hearts..however I have cooked them up and gave them to my dog. hey they deserved a reward for watching over me and protecting me. I miss my dogs.

Y'all see that cat get blasted in the shnozz by that hose? 🤣
