Great walk-through the whole process. Thanks for sharing. Bookmarked for my first flock next year....

Do not acknowledge the Dislikes. You are showing real life. I appreciate you showing this as I am trying to learn how to produce my own food and avoid a blind grocery store. I say blind because most of the people disliking this video eat chicken but don't want to see the truth. Thank You again.

As a chef I love these videos. If your gonna buy meat from a grocery store you should know an animal gave their life for your dinner. Keep up the good work

I just started my Ranch. It has a been a little over 7 months. This was my first time processing a chicken. I was a little afraid to do it. However, after watching your video, I did it with ease. Thank you so Much!!! I have saved this video for all my future processing. Thank you so much!!

Clicked on this cause I was expecting gorefest but stayed for the informative and professional view into how chickens are processed on a farm!

The way you talk us through your processes has to be the best on you tube. Your keeping alive the old school skills many of my generation have lost and for someone like myself, who dreams of and is working towards a life on the land, your value is immeasurable, thank you.

One of the best and most comprehensive teaching sessions you've ever done.

Thanks again for making it so easy.

Good informative video. I'm 81 now and back in '50-'51, I worked @ a local grocery store. Every Thur. we processed about 50 chickens for the weekend. Had 2 30 gal. garbage cans on a 3 burner gas hotplate. We ha electric powered plucker, with a rotating druim. Worked real good. I remember getting an egg from them, while cleaning them. That was a bonus. I think I could still clean them blindfolded, from doing so many. I do like

TIP (BROTH): People always toss out the skin, because it lacks bones or meat ... but what it does have plenty of is collagen, which breaks down into gelatin with long slow simmering. That gelatin is what gives a good broth most of its mouthfeel and ability to set a gel when chilled (bones contain gelatin too, but most of the gelatin in a broth comes from the skin). Skin also contains fat, which can be skimmed off and reserved as schmaltz.

Even if you dont use the skin when making broth, if you have schmaltz handy you can use it to render the skin for more schmaltz, after which you're left with yummy cracklings (aka "gribenes" in yiddish).

I love and respect you for doing all this the right way Sir. God bless you and your family.😊

Thank you for walking us through this process.

I am in the beginning process of getting my first laying hens and came across this video. I kept watching because well I do think we are so dissociated with where and how our food is handled...myself included! I am so so glad you did not show the kill part. And this made me very much appreciate a small farm as opposed to the large factories. I can't and do not want to imagine how the animal is treated there. Anyway, thanks for this.

Josh, I am now 77 years old, and this reminds me of being a kid in South Carolina. Sunday was chicken day. My job was to catch a chicken on the yard, wring his neck, and let him flop around for a couple minutes. Then take the hatchet, and remove his head and let him bleed out. Next came the boiling water. He got dunked, and the we hand plucked all the feathers off, and singed the bird to remove any thing your fingers missed. Great video.

I'm 17 and have two baby chickens a black star and a Easter egger it's my first time raising chickens so I'm watching chicken videos to learn

If eating fried chicken is wrong, I don't want to be right.

[aleckeefe]

I’m a strong animal guy however I can really respect this guy and what he does, great job

[LoneScout]

reminds me of when I was a lad on the called it "Chicken were the days

[TheOzflyer]

Great video, I worked at a commercial chicken abattoir, obviously an entirely different process to accommodate the slaughter of 15, 000 chickens a day, thanks for sharing how it’s done to feed your family on your own property, it’s an easy and efficient process. Cheers 👍

[teestjulian]

My grandfather used to hang the chicken upside down from a tree after beheading. This was to keep from flipping and flopping and draining blood. I wasn't allowed to watch, but I peaked out the window once.
I learned quite a bit from your video, thanks!
