Looking for processing chickens with-out plucking, (Skinning) don't see the link...

[pappamike]

I've been watching your processing videos in Jan/Feb and June every year since 2019.

I can't believe you don't give those chickens a blindfold and a cigarette before you dispatch them :)

Of course chickens have no cognition of their fellow chickens being processed. Where do folks think the term "bird brain" came from?🤔 LOL

In West Virginia the department of agriculture has 2 trailers set up with all the equipment to harvest chicken and they rent it out really cheap. So people might be able to reach out to their local agriculture office and see if there’s state has them.

When I was little we raise egg layers and ate the excess roosters fried and worn out layers stewed.

Awesome video!! My husband and I are just beginning the process to raise our own chickens. I've been pouring over your videos, thank you!

[stormmountain]

Your best chicken processing video to date. Love your Channel

As a kid in the hills of WVA I used to watch my grandmother do this the ole fashion way. She'd hang them upside down on a clothes line and grab them by the neck and quickly cut the neck off, let them drain and then hand pluck. We couldn't afford all those fancy things you have there. This was back in the sixties. Lol, thought I'd share cause this is the first time seeing this on youtube since then and you reminded me of the good ole days.

I always use your videos
For a refresher & since watching your videos I have been purchasing Broilers and I love it ! Tomorrow is processing day for my chickens, it’s been 8 weeks and they are averaging about 10 pounds each . I also use a chicken wagon !! I got the Idea also from you lol . Keep making videos, I’m learning a lot & love raising my own food . I look forward to spring and having chicks 🐥 Nobody said you can’t love on them and give them a fantastic life for 8 weeks ❤️

Fantastic! The most informative video on chicken processing I have ever seen! Keep up the good work and thanks

[kdkracing]

Glad to see that you know and apply the understanding of the limits of poultry cognition. You are right chickens don't feel trauma or fright from being present while others are being processed.

Josh … this video was extremely well done. I especially love the way you explained the process. God bless you and stay safe !!!

[ericclementson]

I really appreciate you taking the time to film this step for step. I watch it a couple times before we process out broilers everytime. It is very helpful! Thanks!
