Great Video! always try carrying 2 buckets at once. If your not strong enough, split it into 2 half full buckets. It evens out the load on your spine, so your not being wrenched sideways. Your back will thank you in 30 years. Best of Luck, keep up the good work.........................
The entire bird is easily utilized. Leftover skin can be frozen until you have collected enough to render into schmaltz, possibly the world's best frying oil in the history of the universe. The feet are probably the best part for making stock and should never be tossed, they look hideous but the flavor, color, and texture from the rendered collagen is amazing (once they're rendered in the stock pot, they can be disposed into the mulch bin). Thanks a lot for the video.
Free tip, put a garbage bag in your bucket and tie the top. Works without a lid. Nice looking broilers.
Nothing like farm fresh!
Wow, your chickens make the ones we get from the grocery store look like pullets.
Great job. Save room in the freezer for a nice big Elk.
That chicken plucker worked great! And is super fast! I wish we had that when I was a kid.
Those heat shrink bags are great for freezing whole birds.
What a cool Plücker.
I can’t believe you never saved the heads. Deep fried chicken Lips are the best lol. Good job
Great video
Thank you for sharing
Good afternoon guys, that was a great video. Steve from N.B
now what did you do with the leftover bone, what you want is to put them in a pot of water and boil slowly for many hours, and you make chicken stock you can and put away until you need it
Great video. Totally enjoyed it.
I just want to say that I'm sorry I didn't watch y'all's video. The reason is because I just butchered 35 chickens myself and I just did feel like watching a video on butchering anymore chickens. I'm looking forward to you watching your next video as long as you're not butchering anymore chickens.
Right on guys great job you will love the birds. So nice to have meat in the freezer knowing that you raised it free from all the junk. We have been doing our own chickens for 5 years about 170 birds total. We have 30 now waiting for second week of Sept I have al ways kept mine in the coolers same way for 24 hours and need to check on the 48 hour deal. I really enjoy your channel and keep up the great work see you on the next video 🐔🐔👍
Thank you for watching and thank you for the support!
Don’t forget to freeze all the bones so you can use them for stock later!!
gonna save this one for a cold beer, while being joined by Catherine Lordern and Carolyn Gingras
I've been watching you guys for a while now, and been wondering if you guys were gonna cross the threshold of survivability or not. After this video, I can say you are crossing that threshold now. Once you learn how to process your own meat (check) and store it without electricity long term (You still need to attempt this) and can build your own shelter (check) you can make it on your own. Next attempt should be storage without electricity in the event you are cut off from it.
Hi Mike and liz
Greats video
If you could do a few videos on the meals you make with the chickens that would be awesome.
Putting your table up on blocks is definitely an expert move. It took me a couple years of processing my own chickens to learn that one!
We always raised about 50 chickens and ⁶ turkeys a year. Your plucked works good. Our we had our hanging had to hold the chicken. They will taste so much better than store bought.
Brilliant video I quite like the thought of putting a taste test to the table buy a shop chicken at about the same weight as one of your birds and then cook them in the exact way then get a couple of well known TH-camrs for the judges say the Johnsons and another couple then see what tastes best and you could do a rough price comparison as well. Keep up the good work.
I totally love that you are sharing this. ❤️ You both will be pro's in no time. There is nobody that's more of an animal lover than I. This is though a crucial part of life that needs to be seen. We need to get back to families doing this together. I remember as a child. Many families would get together and have butcher days. Many hands make lite work. Then all shared in the harvest. I'm sure this concept blows the minds of some. All gave to one another. There was no "take". You were given due to you being there and giving your share. You'll learn how to break these down inside a min and get much quicker. Nice job and thanks for sharing.
Awesome job and great eating 😋. You should of saved the carcases and boiled them and made broth to can or freeze.
Thanks for watching! We will dive into that this next go around in 8 weeks or so!
Cool cleaning machine. Nice size birds.
Yay! Butchering Day! I had in-laws in the rural Toledo Ohio area who raised and sold fresh chickens. They had similar equipment like you guys have. They processed several hundred at a time.
Wow that was so interesting 🤨
Do you have 2 freezers? We always had 2 while growing up. We had one for meat and one for vegetables, fruits, and baking.
Wow...you took me back to my anyuka, my Hungarian mom, and we did the same things...but all by the hands only...I was very young and cried every time I saw her killing the chickens...they’re my friends...😏 but I surely loved how mom cooked them, delicious...you really made me fly back💫
Wow that plucker works really good !! 😊
This is so gnarly and I love it
Those are some nice fat healthy chickens, enjoy guys! 👍
It's like a roller coaster for dead chicken. Very entertaining. Just like gutting a fish, reach up there and grab the heart and lungs and give it a pull. Y'all need a stainless steal butcher table with a sink. Peta is gonna be going nuts over this video, but it sure looked fun to me. you need a seal a meal. Liz did you cut your pretty hair. lol next thing you know you'll be wearing makeup... I know, god forbid. Great video.
On such large breasted chickens Julia Childs suggested cutting into the breast for a dollop of white meat added to the wing This makes the wing piece a more significant piece for cooking. I still separate my wings from the carcass by adding an inch or so of breast when separating the wings from a carcass for a bigger share of the meat bird on the wing piece.
I do about 40 bird a year this way.
Unfortunately you have Newtonian thermodynamics against you which is why you always put COLD water in a kettle. In other words tepid or warm water takes longer to boil than cold
It looks like you did a very good job so I hope you enjoy the chicken when you get ready to eat it I’m sure it will be very good so keep up the good work and keep raising some chickens maybe next you need to get a pig God bless
Great job
Great.
When we’ve hatched our own chickens we usually harvest just the extra roosters…they get a jacuzzi…
Nice job on the birds guys, i think i could smell some Fried Chicken cooking. I'm sure that is going to be some very tasty meat guys. Why were you dipping them back in hot water after you had bagged them up?
Chickens yesterday - We have it made here, we're never leaving.
Chickens on harvest day - OK which one of you guys pissed these people off ? Fred if you pecked someone I swear we'll...
You could raise a lot those and sell them at the farmers market? Looking awesome guys! Keep up the great videos! I'm jealous!
Maybe one day! Thanks for watching Charlie! Hopefully we get to see you guys soon 😊
BIG chickens!! Nice!!
Beautiful looking meat birds, Mike &Liz. Nice and plump, should be great eating. I like the way you processed them, leaving them in a cooler overnight but, why all the water? Salmonella is your enemy with chickens when you process them and it looks like you caught them at the top of their growth cycle. Another great video presentation.
Our well water is so ice cold we read we could make do with it. Hoping for the best, we will keep you guys updated! Thanks for watching!
Did you also cook the frames and possibly necks, left from the cutup chickens? Producing chicken stock and also remnant cooked chicken flesh stripped/strained out of the stock, for other chicken meals like soups or other cooked dishes containing just loose shreded chicken meat.
Not much needs to go to waste really.
Many also get giblets and chicken livers from the interior removed.
Healthy birds that going to be some good eating YUM
You had an excess of roosters in the egg layers did you cull some of them?
I prefer farm fresh and liked your video 👍
Ya'll did a great job with the meat birds, but the feet and everything makes for great doggie treats as well. Just a suggestion, but just about the whole bird can be utilized, by human, or animal. Love ya'll ❤️ and what you're doing
I can't watch a video of a chicken plucker without LMAO. They look like they're going to bounce right out of those things.🤣
It’s a pretty entertaining machine!
@@LaidBackLiving yes it is.🤣🤣🤣
You two are so awesome! Thank you for bringing the reality of raising your own meat birds to the screen. So different than just going to store and picking up a toasted bird for dinner. Did you hatch out any meat birds? Thanks for sharing
IHHHHHH 😮
Really enjoy your journey. But explain the straw in the bag an hot water. Never seen that.SEMPER FI
They are freezer specific bags. The straw let’s the air escape as you dip them in the hot water. Thanks for watching!
@@LaidBackLiving So is that how you vacuum pack them? Never seen that done.
@@LaidBackLiving if you’re just looking for the vacuum, water pressure is fine to push the air out. You wouldn’t need to heat water.

Tip: Vinegar in your soak overnight.
Thanks!
What does the vinegar do?
@@ThisOffGridLife Retards the growth of bacteria.
Next time try skinning your birds. I can kill skin and bag in under 4 min per bird. no hot water bath or pluking needed.
Beef and pork next ?😁
Maybe! 😊
@@LaidBackLiving 1 cow and a couple pigs would see the two of you for a year or so kinda have to weigh the stones on that so to speak store bought to animal investment feed and livestock provisions🤔
Did you make soup from the scraps and Skeleton
Do you harvest them because they reach a certain age or do you look at the weight
This go around it was a little bit of both. You would want to focus more on weight rather than age
@@LaidBackLiving around 2 kilo + alive on the scale
not my cup of tea, but lets hope the people with the pink and purple hair at google won't start to cry how offensive it is to them and, take this video down, more people need to learn how to do this!!!!!!!
That chicken plucker is one cool machine man I want to buy some chickens just to pork them I don't eat them but hey I just want to run that chicken Parker
I love some chicken ....but with seeing this made me unsubscribe good luck
