    So, it’s almost August, 2021 - and I am processing chickens today. You know you have made a great video when I can remember WHO made the video I would I need in the future, and how to find it quickly YEARS after I watched it.!!! Well done, and thank you for all you have done over the years to help others be successful in our homesteading life =)

    This whole series is excellent. I find myself reviewing this video when I do my chicken processing. Thanks for this. It really helps.

    Such a good series, thank you!! I have ordered my first 25 Cornish cross. I'm new to raising meat chickens. I know it is not ideal as they will not be in until the end of Oct so we will be processing into Dec ( in NC) but it was just how it fell into place for us. Trusting the Lord :) it is intimidating to me but there are 5 of us to help. 🙏

    Thank you for your practical videos! We are processing our first 24 Cornish cross chickens in a week and we thank you for teaching us how. I feel confident.

    I really agree with your opinion on growing the CX. I have around 30 growing now, we free range them. Best bang for buck and they are very friendly birds. They free range with our layer flock. I switch to fermented feed a week before we process and it stops the terrible odors from the gut.

    • @coramdayo

      @chaney's ranch Interesting comment about switching to fermented feed!

    • @terrim.602
      @terrim.602 2 ปีที่แล้ว

      Interesting. I switched to fermenting the whole time. It saves 25% up to 40% in feed costs and they have grown the same.
      The one thing we noticed this year was we doubled the number of chickens this year. We didn't have the second tractor ready when it was time to take them out of the nursery. We had to leave half in the nursery for about 6 days, while the other half went in the tractor. No joke- that six days stunted their growth! The 22 birds in the nursery ate the same amount, drank the same amount, but the CX we put in the tractors are visibly bigger, shinier, and over all look healthier. We are butchering them this Thursday and look forward to seeing the difference in meat density, amount and overall quality. Accidental test appears to be a success!

    Great job Kevin, somehow in all the years watching you guys, I had missed this whole series. I've been raising my own now for over two years and 2023 chicks about to arrive, so great reminder. Thank you both for all you do for us.

    @steffaniewalz8444 4 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    I know this is an old one... but we needed a quick refresher course. Thank you! The ones we have right now... they follow us all around the barn yard, and they are really free range.... so much so that the other day when we got home... I opened my car door and I seriously thought they were going to get in the car with me. They are a friendly lot. That was on Wednesday, they are being processed today on Saturday. NO heart attacks, broken bones, just fat and happy chickens.

    Well 5 years later I'm seeing this because I'm considering this for my family. If I could give you double or triple thumbs up for this one I would. I've been watching many videos and reading and you hit on some key points that were very very helpful for me. Do you by chance have an updated video on this?

  • @kimberlywalders6063
    @kimberlywalders6063 5 ปีที่แล้ว

    Home grown chicken are so great. Nothing better then homegrown food. You guys are so great to watch. Love your channel. Thanks for the interesting knowledge you share. Blessing to all. We always used milk jugs with the bottom cut out. Turned upside down . Nail it on the board and stick the chicken in to drain the blood. But I’m sure you don’t have a bunch of jugs with your goats giving your milk. Love your plucker. It really looks like a great time saver.

We'll be moving to MO this summer to 10 acres raw land we purchased about a week ago. Was contemplating Cornish Cross, and now thanks to you we'll definitely be getting them. Thanks again for sharing. God bless ❤

  • @friendlymomma
    @friendlymomma 3 ปีที่แล้ว

    Y'all are so amazing. It must have taken so long to research everything from start to finish and then to purchase each item and set everything up. That's a lot of stuff! Looks like you have it down! I just finished watching you guys can these birds, and of course you've mastered that skill as well. Such hard workers...I know the meat chickens are just a fraction of what y'all do on the homestead. I feel like a million bucks when I simply get a small batch of food canned. I can't imagine how you do it all!

  • @okeechobeejoe2868
    @okeechobeejoe2868 4 ปีที่แล้ว

    I agree, i've raised the cross rock chickens, and have had grown chickens by 8 weeks. And we fed them 12 on 12 off and had no problems with them. The meat is excellent and my wife who is a VERY picky eater actually loved to eat this chicken. I built homemade plucker, and it works great, we loved raising these chickens.

    @kimberlywalders6063 4 ปีที่แล้ว

    Doesn’t look like you have any problems with the feather coming off. I use. To help clean chicken we always put a squirt of dawn dish soap in the water. Seemed to cut through the oil on feathers. And the little amount never bothered. Then chilled them in Rubbermaid lg. Garbage cans . Takes me back to living on the farm . Loved it. Won’t lie miss farm living totally

    @timothymorrison1235 6 ปีที่แล้ว

    I kept 2 as pets. They are over a year old and doing well. I call them my "big girls". After a while, they regulate how much they eat and only eat when my layers do, except when I come out with the mealworms. Thats when they pig out. They love to be held but at 15lbs, thats an armfull. I plan on getting 40 come spring, but will process at 8, 10, and 12 weeks.
    I love your videos, I'll be adding rabbits to my homestead this year because of your videos.

I’m so grateful for all your effort into putting this series together. I’ll be watching the series again to make notes.

We started with 10 Cornish Cross just to see how it would work for our family. We have had a flock of laying hens for 4 years now. I do not like the “killing” step, but will happily help with the rest of the process, so your video was helpful for me :) I love your channel

    • @fishnlady
      @fishnlady 4 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Gary, I am so sorry for you and the condition of your body. Just a suggestion. A spine surgeon in Alaska once told me that if I could take up to 10,000 mg of Omega 3 in fish oil or how ever you can get it that it would be equal to narcotic pain killers. At the time I was waiting for an ok from the insurance company for surgery and I started taking Carlson's high omega fish oil that was lemon flavored. I took a tablespoon every morning and night and I can vouch that it definitely was equal to pain medicine. It took 3 weeks to start working but when it did I was able to bear what little pain was left. If you haven't tried it please do. Nordic Naturals also makes a high quality fish oil. Krill oil can work too but just make sure it is the highest omega 3's you can find for the least amount of oil.

    Just did my chickens this past Sunday. First time, so I had some experienced help. But good to watch your process. (I want a plucker!)
    I save the hearts and gizzards, but not for any dog. I love them!!! Whole, not ground. I also save feet for bone broth.
    I had red and black broilers, much more a fan of darker meat than of the breasts, which is why I didn't get Cornish cross.

  • @lilbitatatime3763
    @lilbitatatime3763 6 ปีที่แล้ว

    Enjoyed your instructional video. You have a good setup. Every year we get a new piece of processing equipment. The first year we got killing cones and a scale, second year a chicken plucker, 3rd year a turkey fryer, 4th year smaller cones, 5th year we're getting a tub sink! That will simplify cleaning after evisceration especially since we're raising turkeys again this year. Re: Cornish Cross Chickens. They're right for us. We've never had leg or heart issues and follow the same feed routine 12 hrs on 12 off. Some homesteads are pushing Freedom/Red Rangers and discouraging others from raising Cornish Cross Chickens. Unsure why that is as they've raised them for many years in the past. Freedom//Red Rangers are a hybrid just like Cornish X's, they just grow slower. We can understand encouraging heritage breeds but that's not the case. I've watched many of your video's, great channel!

    • @LivingTraditionsHomestead
      @LivingTraditionsHomestead  6 ปีที่แล้ว

      Thanks so much! We agree that the Cornish just work best for our homestead. Sounds like you have a great plan for expanding your equipment. I think people mostly have problems with the cornish crosses if they don't follow the correct feeding schedule. Other than that, they are so easy to raise.

    This series was really great, and I want to thank you for answering my questions and sharing your experiences. I live on a small homestead, just a little more than a quarter acre, and had resigned myself to only being able to have a small flock of egg-layers. After watching your videos and asking questions (which you answered within a day or two!) I went out to measure my available space, and have a plan for doing a meat crop of 25 birds! Thanks so much!

    • @LivingTraditionsHomestead
      @LivingTraditionsHomestead  7 ปีที่แล้ว +3

      +Jade Danner Jones So glad this was helpful to you! We started on a small homestead also. People under estimate how much you can accomplish in a small space. Let me know how it goes when you raise your first batch! - God Bless! Kevin.

    • @DannerJade
      @DannerJade 7 ปีที่แล้ว

      Kevin, have you incorporated black soldier fly larvae into your homestead at all? I've been doing a lot of reading up, and establishing a working box seems a bit yucky because there's a period when it has more house and fruit flies than black soldier flies when it's getting established, and I'd be really interested in a video on it if you've worked it into your homestead. I'll be doing aquaponics as well, and the larvae are apparently a high protein feed that can be used for feeding fish and chickens.
      I would also appreciate a video (or series) on egg-layers. It looks like you pasture raise them, and any tips, tricks and advice would be welcome. If you have any advice about "troubleshooting" the health of your flock (and what to do to remedy) that would be a welcome addition to your channel. I enjoyed the rabbit series as well, but I'm not sure I'm ready for that yet so I'm trying to get my brother to do it first! He lives off-grid on a 30-acre homestead.
      I appreciate your efforts to provide really useful information in accessible videos that are organized into a "lesson plans". May God continue to bless you and yours.

    I feed around the clock, all my birds are good and healthy. Hell, I even put out scratch all day... They all are active, no health problems. CX eat alot because they are breed to grow, withholding food will stress out the chickens and will affect growth in a negative way. The whole journey is about getting the best product, stress free, happy birds.. I also bath my chickens in a bucket two to four times a day if it's hot out. Clean, full of food, and nice and cool. These things are key for growing tender big chickens.

    Nice information. We butcher in The Philippines and we have to pluck by hand. We only kill what we need for the day. We will occasionally kill on a day ahead. Refrigeration is not available in many areas. That plucker sure makes things look easy. We also save the blood and the blood is coked. May of our local people eat the chicken feet. Thanks for sharing this great information. We feed the innards to the pigs. We keep the gizzards for neighbor's and for our dog. MostWe save the hearts, lungs, and livers too. Most of our chickens are killed at about 1.4 kilos and the birds dresses out at just under a kilo, 2.2 pounds. The country is poor. We sometimes give our poor families the blood, gizzards, livers, heart and the other stuff. A housewife can hardly afford the one kilo price for dressing out the chicken. For our own chickens, we grow them out more, maybe four or five pounds. We can sell every Chechen we raise. If a chicken dies, a neighbor will clean and eat the chicken. I gave up trying to stop them. I like your channel. Thanks for sharing.

    I think it’s the purpose for the chicken that effects the end results. We’ve raised chickens (freedom rangers) in a chicken tractor and they did fine. Our son just got done raising Cornish crosses for stockshow and the way they suggest feeding (round the clock) they are way too big in my opinion. They are unable to walk now and I just don’t like it. Unfortunately this is what they want for show. Going forward when we raise for meat we will do Cornish crosses ( I prefer how fast they grow compared to the freedom rangers) but we will feed like y’all do. Great video!!
