I'm a constitutional conservative Christian. I didn't vote this election. I didn't feel my vote mattered. I'm glad Trump won.
I do this too but leave the steaming cup in there.
Trump is a businessman? Sure. Please look up all his businesses esp casinos that went bankrupt. I believe in God. Jesus taught us not to believe in false prophets. We are taught to look after people and love our neighbours. There's nothing Christian about Trump. He's an adulterer. He cheated all his contractors. He stole from his own charity and university. He tried to overthrow the government. He cheated on the election. God is about hope and love. Trump is hateful, a bully, incites fear and violence. Nothing Christian about him. Being Pro life but you don't care about the mothers that needs abortion because the pregnancy is not viable. You are against banning of assault weapons to stop kids from dying at school. You are against universal healthcare, and schools free breakfast, lunch and tampons. But sure, Trump represents Christianity according to you. God bless you.
Dude, did you even hear what you just said? It's not about him being perfect...he's not. Only Jesus is. We're electing a political leader, not a priest or a pastor. And Jesus is King no matter who sits in the oval office. But look at the alternative: Everything Harris has supported and spoken up for, up until the past few weeks when she realized she had to start lying about her record and agenda if she wanted to have even a chance of getting elected - everything she represents is anti-God, anti-Christian, anti-Bible. And if you don't vote for Trump because you don't like him or his mannerisms, then you have automatically voted for Harris by your abstinence.
Amen

I have just a few deleware broilers was going to order more but can never catch them available so I ordered 10 show class deleware
Thanks for sharing.
Video is a bit long but great content nontheless. Thank you!
How did the Delaware chicken meat taste (compared to a Cornish) and how did you cook it?
Great!
I wondered if you and your wife also flavor any of the milk with spices?
the regular Delaware is only good as a slow cooked bird for soup, you can cross a delaware rooster with a new hamphsire hen to make whats called an indian river chicken which is a broiler.
that sounds like a great plan!
I just order a small group of 1 male and 5 females of the Delaware. Thanks for this video.

CLEAN YOU OVEN BEFORE YOU MAKE VIDEOS!!! UGGGG
Just found your channel. Meatloaf is a staple for my household. It is simple and just plain good eating. I don't like anything but meat and seasoning in my meat loaf. I leave the onion sliced on the side. My meatloaf is 4lbs ground beef, 6 eggs, onion powder, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. It stays together without the bread with extra eggs. I mix a small can of tomato paste and 1/4 cup of honey to caramelize on top. I line a bread pan with foil, wrap the formed meatloaf entirely, and remove it from the bread pan. I then poke holes in the bottom of the foil with a butter knife that allows the grease to flow out of the meatloaf and place it on a little steam rack. Foil a pan to catch the grease. I have also made this with ground lamb wrapped in bacon to change things up. It is unbelievably good. Simple meals are just better.
sounds great!
Thanks for the upload! I have been meaning to try this for a long time, but your video got me to actually prepare the mixture. I' can' wait to try it, and hopefully drop the Aluminum deodorants for good! 👍 God bless you, greetings from Sweden
Thank you! Glad I could help!
Awesome video!!!
Glad you enjoyed it
Ive had buff orpingtons for the past 15 yrs...in my opinion they are worthless...bony carcasses...they look big but they are all fluffy feathers.Theyre eggs arent very big.I only keep a couple because they go broody.
I had hoped for a meatier carcass too, but honestly, the main reason I added Buffs to my small flock was because of their disposition and their broodiness. Hoping they would hatch me som Delawares.
Last year I got the ginger broilers from mcmurray, and some they called “Cornish roasters”. The roaster is not available this year because of avian flu and I don’t know what strain it was, but it was way better than regular jumbo cornishx, as far as health and legs, and they got really reallly big. The ginger broilers are an awesome free range meat chicken, I still have several of last years hens and a rooster, they make great layers too, and I’m gonna see what happens when I hatch the ginger eggs, I just set some today.
let me know how the next gen gingers work out.
@@geneeddleman2132 I will
Today I was working on a pen for them, I wanna isolate them because right now they are part of my big flock and there’s other roosters, so I’m not 100% sure on this incubating batch, but I see Big Steve on Large Marge all the time
My main meat chicken breeding pen has 2 dark Cornish roosters and 6 white rock hens, 4 barred rock hens, and soon 3 beilefelder hens. I don’t expect a chicken like a cornishx, but I’ll be very happy with a ginger broiler type bird. Big Steve the ginger rooster is huge, I wanna get him on a scale, he’s about a year old and very healthy and active
Thank you ive been looking at Delaware for months and i think im going to get them and then try to bread the biggest and kindest lol
hope they work out for you!
Have to try today
How can two minutes with a half cup of warm water that you remove then pop the dough in the micro possibly stay consistently warm for 10 minutes let alone 60 minutes?? Hard to believe..
good question. the key here is not really consistent temps, although that would be nice. (If we had a commercial proofer that would be a no brainer, right?) What makes this work better than open atmosphere, or sitting on the open oven door is actually the increased consistency of the HUMIDITY because the dough is sealed inside an almost-air-tight chamber (microwave) and maintains its moisture longer. (-: And as a bonus, if there's an electromagnetic pulse due to the zombie apocolypse, your bread's circuitry won't get fried because the microwave is a fairly decent Faraday cage :-).
This machine sucks,it didn't work for me,I trashed it immediately.i spent 160 for nothing.
sorry to hear that. Mine is great! I use it at least once a week, and it outperfoms all my expectations!
With no doubt this is the best video for anybody has a question for AHMED chicken producing I was looking for this information for a long time and I guess you are nailed it. Thank you you did a great job.
So nice of you
All chickens are hybrids, to set a strain just breed brother to sister and you'll get close to the same, just keep breeding the ones who grow for your rate and you'll create your own strain, like RIRs or Rocks who were hybrids at one time
In games like Ocarina of time, I wondered how Link can carry around room temperature milk for days without it going bad. Now I know.
Good idea, thank you
You are welcome!
This worked incredibly well. I left the jar of boiled water in the microwave with the bread dough as recommended below. Also, another tip - Water from boiled potatoes to replace the usual water in the dough is fantastic for raising bread. Yeast loves eating potato water!
Thanks for the video! With those fast growing breeds, it’s vital to weigh them every couple weeks and divide them up, or they will get to be all different sizes. The big operations split them into three groups: underweight, overweight, and just right. Don’t necessarily change the amount of feed per bird, just make sure the fatties are competing with each other and not the runts.
Thanks for the tips!
Just returned it. Not built to last; lots of plastic. There is a tiny gap at the edge of the platform where food could fall through and into the machine. Mine was also missing the smooth blade.
sorry to hear that. I love mine! also, I think you'll find that the plastic is actually aluminum or a type of "pot metal". Mine also did not have the second blade, but upon researching the listing and the box it came in, I came to the conclusion that there were actually more than one listing for the same machine, at different price points. Of course I bought the cheaper one and discovered that it did not promise 2 blades - that was the higher priced one. Hope this helps.
Great video. Thanks for sharing
Thanks for watching!
You should to tried pasture raising Cornish cross..the flavor are very good and brown meat.. but agree with you we have to pay each chicken we can't reproduce...some people say breesy chicken or Plymouth rock but I want to try with Delaware this year... thanks for the information
thanks for watching! Glad to hear you're going to try them. One recommendation in hind sight - I let mine get too big before butchering. (around 12 -13 weeks, 5 lb avg live weight) I'd recommend dressing them at 3 1/2 - 4 lbs to get more tender meat. But the flavor is wonderful. Actually tastes like the chicken we raised 60 years ago when I was a kid.
great
thanks!
Thank you for demonstrating this comparison! My husband and I have been looking for a true dual purpose bird that is reproducible, and I think we’re going to get some enhanced delawares. This has been really helpful!!!
You are so welcome!
You showed the dressed carcass! A rare thing. You are the best. Have you looked at Dorking chickens? Murray has them. It seems to be a good sized bird for a couple or small family dinner. Apparently they are a "better" tasting bird. Guildbrook Farm does them exclusively. I'm not in the position to do homesteading. I left Mo. during the Obama years and settled down here in Ecuador. Love your channel. God Bless.
So exactly how long is canned milk shelf stable?
It depends on who you ask. Some say 6 mos. max. Some say you shouldn't do it in the first place. But I just used a quart of it last week that was canned 3 years ago. It tasted a bit more like canned evaporated milk from the store (creamier) than fresh milk. And the milk solids (fat) had concentrated into tiny globules. This made the texture a bit weird for just drinking, but it was perfectly good for cooking or adding to coffee. No sour taste or smell, not curdled, all good. But that's not to say you should use it that long. (wink).
Thanks! I'm strongly considering Delaware broilers.
Glad it was helpful!
Hello..i saw your comment on greg gottfried recently post that u started doing POD.. if u dont mind me asking.. how’s that goin?

Are those just golden comets that they’re calling Ginger broilers? Because I’ve got two golden comet hens who are not quite 6 months that grew up superfast, and they are heavy with meat on a diet of scratch grains, and 1/3 of their diet is layer pellets, and they’re not even free range. So I don’t know how they got so filled out. They are smarter and more tame than any of the other chickens. They look identical to these ginger broiler & are hybrids. I didn’t even have to train them and they learned how to get inside of a dog carrier on their own every night to come into the house and stay in my parrot cage because I had German Shepherds attack my coop and kill seven of my laying hens and the only reason those two didn’t get murdered is because they were in the house that night from an aggression by one of the australorps. And those two comets stay together all the time, and will cry if they get separated. So the wounded one spent the night in the house, and I brought her sister in so they would quit crying. And that night my coop got attacked and they killed every chicken. I also have a mated pair of speckled Sussexx that I’m breeding and incubating eggs now to raise for small baking chickens. I just got my first set of eggs into the incubator today. When I went to Europe, I had these small chickens that have white skin and light meat all over, and that’s the speckled Sussex. They are so tender the meat falls off the bone, just baking it. And it’s just me on the tiny homestead wanting to have unlimited cheap chicken to bake which is my favorite so I picked the Sussexx. But now you have me wanting to get one of these roosters to go with my two golden Comet hens because every time I pick them up, they just get heavier and it is not fat. They are some strong, active chickens that run around and actually enjoy chasing each other for fun and Keep very active in the run. They don’t get bored and they don’t fight any others. I swear they look identical to these you’re showing called Ginger broilers. When I purchased the chicks, it said golden sex link because they were assuring the buyer they were getting pullets. But later I found out that it’s golden comet and about three or four different other names. That’s why I ask. Is this just a golden comet they are calling by a different name to sell as meat birds? I’ve had Rhode Island, Australorp, leghorn, speckled Sussex, barred Plymouth Rock, and a grey hen I can’t remember the name, but none of them grow fast and heavy like the golden comet. They even started laying faster than the Australorps, with bigger eggs that have very thick shells. They almost have a chocolate brown egg of good size and they lay 4-5 eggs per week very steady. That’s as good as Australorp which is supposed to be the best layer. My Australorp hens that got killed took longer to start laying, they stayed smaller and weren’t maturing as fast, they were aggressive and flighty, plus their eggs were tiny, and I couldn’t understand why anyone said they were dual purpose meat/egg birds because there was no meat on them in the breast. I kept thinking it was just going to take longer, but I never saw it. I just got my incubator delivered today & started incubating the first speckled Sussexx but I also crossed golden comet with speckled Sussexx and have five eggs of theirs in there. I know when you Brea comment it’s not gonna come out like a comet so who knows what a Sussexx and a comet are gonna come out like. 😆🤞But now watching your video I want to know if those are the same as golden comet and which birds do I need to raise to hybrid those because I’m in love with my golden comets and I really think they’re the same thing. Good video thank you.
Hi! Thanks for your comments. It's my understanding that the Ginger Broilers are hybrids, developed by Murray McMurry hatcheries, altyough I'm pretty sure other hatcheries have a similar "slow hybrid" meat bird of their own that they call by different names. I still have 3 of these hens that I didn't get butchered in time and they have now joined my layers. As a followup: the Delawares check all the boxes on paper, but in real life I do have one complaint - their skin is so tough it's almost like eating plastic. Otherwise they're great, although I should have dressed them 2 weeks earlier. I'm thinking of getting a Buff Orpington Rooster to breed my buff hens. Cause even though they take longer to mature, they still have a very nice carcass, light skin, and are very hardy. And I'd like to see what comes from a Buff and Cinnamon Broiler cross. We'll see. Your mention of the Speckled Sussex has me intrigued. Hmmm...
Thank you so much I’m new to canning and thinking of all the things that I like that I can can in this video was amazing😎👍🏼

thanks for sharing! that sounds like a great plan!
If you pressure cook the delawares in a instapot for at least 3 hours they're not good for frying that's been my experience
I think you are right. wish I had asked you first :-)
You would have done better with white rocks.
I dont think so, why do you say that
@@scottulbrich5376 White Rocks have a breast like a store bird and lay 200 plus large eggs a year and are simple, hardy and inexpensive.
I'll have to look into that in the future
@@aaronishii5874 I have four white rock pullets. They are 18 weeks of age. They are very light weight and have their keel bone protruding. They barely have any breast meat on them. We overfeed our flock and the White Rocks are some of the scrawniest birds we've got! The White American Bresse have done much better than the White Rocks in terms of putting on size and weight. I'll be choosing either the Delaware Broilers or the Ginger Broilers for spring. I might try and see if I can hatch out any Ginger Broilers to see what the hatchlings grow in to. Maybe they will be worth keeping around for sustainable meat birds. Maybe not. I know they are a hybrid.

One thing I've realized since I made the video is the white Zote has a mild citranella scent. Very fresh and herbal.
@@geneeddleman2132 thanks 😊
The American Buff Orpington is no longer a good dual purpose bird. The breeding stock has gone to crap since it fell out of favor as dual purpose. It also almost hit the endangered species list. It would take a long time and some very selective breeding to get them back to their dual purpose origins. I contemplated looking into getting some European stock since they were maintained overseas, but decided against it. Their meat is not that great IMO. I've stuck with freedom rangers, but I'll be working on an American Bresse cross here soon. I'll be crossing male ABs with Freedom Rangers; I have 3 20 week old hens; 10-12lbs and 4 Breese roos; 2 @ 19 weeks and 2 @ 10. Should be interesting to see what happens with the offspring.
thanks for the info
I’ve seen buff Orpington from breeders at the NC state fair the size of small turkeys
I currently have 20 week old Delawares. I also have 7 week old Bresse. I am going to cross them and see what i get. Any update on your project?
post - processing report: I should have butchered my Delawares a week or 2 earlier. They are a more solid flesh than Cornish X so it can get a bit chewy for fryers if they're overly mature. Taste is amazing! But the biggest con for me is that the skin was like leather. Not real appetizing. I've had to give up my breeding project though due to other committments. your cross sounds very interesting. Keep us posted.
@@geneeddleman2132 what age do you think is the best for butchering?
Delaware rooster over a White Rock hen would probably be very good, I'm thinking. I got some White Rocks, years ago from Meyer Hatchery and they got to be very large.
@@pattyogreen Processing Age: 12-16 weeks ~ 2.5 - 3 pounds of processed meat.
First and foremost, if you're buying your milk from the grocery store where it has already been pastorized, you don't have to worry about Botulism. The processing plant has already taken care of that problem, through the pastorization process. If it was fresh milk directly from the farm, then you would need to worry about your botulism. You would have to take those extra precautions during the canning process.
