Butchering and Processing Chickens

My Cornish cross meat birds are 9 & 8 weeks old. Time to get them butchered. I share with you my butchering process and even canning some of the meat.
Thanks for watching!

Just like mom used to butcher a chicken; however, she did it somewhat differently, achieving the same end result. She was born in 1916, had 6 siblings and life was not very easy on the farm. I miss her every day. Thank you for sharing your process and your faith in God. I wish you and your family the very best in your farming venture.

I remember doing this as a kid but we plucked every feather by hand

[maxprice]

Really enjoyed the video!!! The whole process of cutting up the chicken was great !! Never seen that before and learned alot thank you 🙏

[andrewgraves]

I never knew about the oil gland above the tail, thank you. Even though God gives you a challenge with the snow, He also delivers beauty with it. I can't understand how people get so distressed about snow. Mackenzie is still taking up your counter space, but left you enough to work. May God continue to bless and grace your family.

I remember as a kid when my parents did this I would cry because I considered the chickens my friends

[johnhenderson]

I can remember doing that over 50 years ago

We use the chicken feet to make soup, or curry chicken foot or brown stew chicken foot, awesome awesome meal . Great video

This video brings back memories of my mother and grandmother butchering and canning on the farm in Nunica. People nowadays have gotten into the mundane everyday habit of just going to the store and buying the prime parts of the chicken. Thank you Ronda for showing us the heritage way of life on the farm. God Bless you and your family and take care.

I remember doing this about 50 years ago. Scald them pluck them got them and cut them up. I'm surprised you too would let you do this. so many are skittish nowadays.

Your videos are great showing how a family works together on the farm and doing other things. Haven't seen Abbey lately hope all is good.

I wish my grandma had one. I had to do that by hand . so I let sit in the water a little longer. Your really good at that. The great part is your kids know how it done as well.

Always wondered how to butcher a chicken. Thanks for sharing.

Thank you for the video I enjoyed it. That is healthy and steroid free chicken. Who knows what all is in the chickens from those big poultry farms. I agree that the Lord has given us the animals for us to eat. God Bless
