this this this! yes these chickens are used for meat, but every step just further benefits the environment in a hundred small ways. thank you for doing this and showing it's possible, you gave them amazing lives and now they'll make loads of family very happy.
I feel like it makes their lives more fulfilling for them and the planet, and I bet it actually makes their meat more nutritious in the long run. I hope to see more farms like this in the future, acting like an ecosystem rather than using monoculture crops and horrible long steel chicken houses. Chickens want to roost and they should get to live a nice life roosting in the woods and foraging in real dirt before they die
@@Grace-er9epYes! You said it perfectly! They would already have a humane way of dying and then your going to give them a bad life? Seeing these types of farms and not just modern farms just makes me have a faith in humanity.
There's a very distinct difference in animals raised like this versus the corporate meat-grinder. Perhaps it's the superior diet, almost completely void of highly processed grains, lending to a better tasty finish and more bioavailable nutrients for humans without causing gastrointestinal issues. Happy tastes and does a body better.
For sure. The choked up commercial chicken farms reek of ammonia from poop and the birds are clumsy and slow - a fraction of the animals they can be. I never buy that commercial meat except for infrequent food while out. At home I have had that in my refrigerator well over a decade

@@karenwingo2592whoever told you people would have to be vegetarian... Because you need to ignore them. They're mentally ill. And fyi fruit and veg is FAR more damaging to the environment, causes more environmental destruction than ANYTHING else. Oh and EVERY time they harvest your fruit and veg... They murder MILLIONS, some say BILLIONS of animals. All massacred EVERY time. Why do you think they're always followed by birds.. . So EVERY item of fruit and veg comes coated in the bloody mist of all those innocent animals. Bambi, thumper, ALL of them churned up. If you ACTUALLY care about the environment you'd eat carnivore. They actually kill FSR LESS animals, they kill infinitely LESS wildlife and they use less land to feed far more people. EVERY single time a vegetarian eats... that's several different harvest's and several different massacres. And because of seasons you can't grow all year... So most of your food is shipped across the globe on planes. So how exactly are you better for the environment...?! ☠️🤦♀️🤷♀️ I walk 3 minutes from my house to a local butcher who buys the animals from all the local farms. My food can walk to the final destination. No stuffing them onto trailers with hundreds of others. And they only kill the animals necessary. They don't have to wipe out the entire field EVERY time. Think about ALL the baby animals and even adults, that ALL hide in the grass... They ALL get murdered. And your lovely healthy fruit and veg comes complete with red mist flavours. Some include a few chonks of Bambi and thumper free of charge. Stop pushing sh!t you literally know nothing about. And in your idiotic world what about diabetics... They HAVE to eat no carbs and high protein. You DO understand that you will NEVER be healthy long term in a vegetarian diet. And you'll be catastrophically worse on a vegan diet. The first few months maximum feel good. But then your natural reserves start running down. The faster it runs down the faster you quit. I was an idiot kid once as well. I fell for the lies, it stunted my growthby a LOT. My great nann is 5ft, my nan is 5ft6/7 and my mother 5ft10... So is my sister's and brothers are 6ft1 6ft3. I'm only 5ft. I love being small so I love it. But if you don't want to stunt your growth for no reason at all then drop the stupid diets and just eat normally
@@priestesslucy3299 I definitely gotta look more..im in the bay area and I have one farm close to us but it's nothing like this but I will definitely check it out!
It’s amazing how different the system becomes when they are open with guard dogs, vs pasture raised but in tractors to keep the coyotes and raccoons away. Also we would have a lot of raptor predation.
Genius. Bravo. Good for you . As a child my Mom worked at a hatchery. For "Easter" bonus we would get a 1000 chickens to raise. We processed everything ourselves.
I really like your way of doing it I never raised meat birds we just let them forge the woods and grass we eat the eggs only killing I ever did was getting rid of mean roosters and we ate them I think they get meaner as they grow older
I just got to your guys's Channel a couple days ago I don't eat meat but I love your channel I think what you do is great. I also love that you allow that little girl to help out in you guys pay her that is just the sweetest thing thank you for all you do
Well, they can get more good where they are, right? There's herbs, bugs, worms and also shelter. No need to fly into a almost bugless garden to eat some salad...
I would love to buy your chickens. The grocery store chickens, even the non injected kind, have no taste. Chickens don’t have the flavor they did fifty years ago. Good job people!
❤❤❤Same. This is the humane way to do it. When I consume free-meat vs. cage-meat, I can see and taste the difference. I can taste, as a woman on a hormonal level, the absence of great suffering. Not sure if she butchers and processes the animals herself, but if so, I would like a video on that.
right? her farm may not produce as much food as a factory, but it's ethical and each animal is taken care of best as they can. they don't grow up in cages, drugged out and miserable.
They are all so blessed to have a happy, natural and safe lifestyle before their ultimate sacrifice. I was a vegetarian for almost 30 years but due to health issues I have had to take up eating meats at least a few times per month. It helps me to feel a lot less "guilty" if I know the animals have a wonderful, natural life like this. 💖💖💖
For the meat chicken they have guard dogs and for the eggs chicken they have modern scarecrows and stuff like that. Her chickens are really confortable
Well done! Instead of giving them soy, grown in the Amazon Rainforest area (almost no forest left there now...), they get their proreins from bugs and worms, just as mother nature designed it.
You are what you eat. If you think blind, bald chickens in cages makes better eating then I don’t know what to say but you can definitely taste the difference.
At night they have guard dogs protect the chickens. Very cool setup.
I was wondering that how are they protecting them from predators
@@Justsaying1973there’s also predator lights
Now THIS is the chicken I want them be selling near me.

Why don't you buy your meat in the store where it's made and let the chickens alone
@@pappydanny58 are you stupid 😭😭 meat is not made in the store

@@pappydanny58. You’re kidding, right? 🙄
I would love to buy natural chickens like these
Ur a boss ass woman. Huge respect to you for what you do
Thank you for treating meat chickens so humanely 🧡
Shut up. Why dont you watch dominion and see the difference beetween these types of farms?
This is the way it should be done. Thank You for teaching people.

Love this method of farming, ancient, sustainable, and profitable!,
I love your channel, we need people like you who handle our food..i wish I could get your food from your farm in California
Understand The food Part can't you just go vegetarian like we're all gonna have to be If. Somebody wants to. Saying these chickens put a hard Emoji

@@karenwingo2592No, we all don't have to be vegetarian. Geeez.
Happily explains how theyll spend their last week alive 😅
So I guess you don't eat chicken??
Thank you for being HUMAINE farmers! RESPECT!!!
I have always dreamed of meat chickens having an outdoor life. Incredibly beautiful ❤
This is an amazing concept for healthy, happy, chickens!! Love it!!
This is amazing. Great job smarter than the factories. I bet your animals almost never gets sick.
It’s amazing how different the system becomes when they are open with guard dogs, vs pasture raised but in tractors to keep the coyotes and raccoons away. Also we would have a lot of raptor predation.
I can imagine how free and happy they are. The way it’s intended
The real free range birds great job wish I lived in the area
They look so healthy and happy.
Your farm is AWESOME!!! So are you.
Awesome farming ❤
I'm a city guy; New York, at that! And this is so fascinating to me, that you can have 'forest chickens' right here in the USA.
You go girl...teach them...watching from Jamaica.🇯🇲
You know, I’d really like to see this farm. I wonder if they ever take visitors.
They do. They even have camping and tours. Checkout their website, I think its in the bio.
@@scubachrissy yay! I will!
Sustainability and humane animal husbandry. It is the epitome of correct farming. We should have these everywhere. Well done!
Those are the healthiest looking chicken I have ever seen
I wish I could buy from you. i love to see the quality of life these chickens have
Beautiful to see how you raise them.
They are definitely living their best life.
These chicken enjoys their foraging. Just look at them running about in the natural surrounding. Beautiful sight.
Genius. Bravo. Good for you . As a child my Mom worked at a hatchery. For "Easter" bonus we would get a 1000 chickens to raise. We processed everything ourselves.

You doing great 👏👏👏👏I love it
awesome, keeping them bugs from being so bad around the garden too. Good job !!
Those chicken are so well-behaved lol My grandmother's chickens would've flown over the fence to eat everything they could in that vegetable garden 😂
Well, they can get more good where they are, right? There's herbs, bugs, worms and also shelter. No need to fly into a almost bugless garden to eat some salad...
the taste of that chickens are much better than others...
You are such an amazing farmer. I love your channel
Excellent video. First one of yours I've seen. Subscribed. 👍🏻
Grazing Lanes are such intellegent methods of farming .. Thank You for sharing this technique you are using with your chickens ..
Awesome way to live your life, I hope to be there someday!!
The only way to raise chickens!🐓🐣🐥🐔❤👍✌️👌
You guys looks to be doing it right. Nice.
Thank You for the lessons
A responsible breeder!!
Great set up indeed. I would definitely want something like this. Less hassle than housing them indoors.
The best one i've seen raising the animals.
How do y'all keep predators away? I love your channel.
I would love to buy your chickens. The grocery store chickens, even the non injected kind, have no taste. Chickens don’t have the flavor they did fifty years ago. Good job people!
Thanks, really..I've seen chicken farms. So sad, these girls are happy happy b_bug eaters!.. I understand that and appreciate you
Thank you guys
What a beautiful and smart way to make a living.😊
I love it. I'd like to work there .😊
They look healthy
Its so cool finding this channel, how do you butcher all of them its so many? This is a dream for me just a smaller scale

@@Lilboozibert"I'm not a vampire" that is what a vampire would say . Lmao.
Your chickens are excellent ❤
Genius. Awesome!! ❤❤❤
You have your farming down to a fine art😊
Beautiful ❤
May I ask, how do you keep land predators away?
They have dogs and bright lights on a motion detector and a few other things
This is awesome and blows my mind why there arent mire farmers like this
You are" my Hero's"!
If I was a meat chicken, I would want to live on your farm.

Two questions: how do you control wing/air predators and how to control 4 feet predators? Other than that two thumbs up!
I am in love with everything here, i just subscribed for more.
You’re awesome!
I'd very much like to have one of those birds on my table.
Do you ever have problems with predators and what do you do to combat them …love what you guys are doing animals look healthy and beautiful
That's so awesome to see. Thank you for sharing this! How do you protect from predators during the day, like birds of prey?
For the meat chicken they have guard dogs and for the eggs chicken they have modern scarecrows and stuff like that. Her chickens are really confortable
Just the way my German grandma and Polish grandpa did it.
Well done! Instead of giving them soy, grown in the Amazon Rainforest area (almost no forest left there now...), they get their proreins from bugs and worms, just as mother nature designed it.
what a beautiful life they
Question: would these poultry chickens be considered “free range” since they’re housed in the wood not in coops?
Good job.
How do you get them ready for butcher?
Where do they lay eggs
Happy chickens
Nice work
Do you offer work programs on your farm for people who want to come learn from you? Trading work for education?
Little do they know--- Bwa-ha-ha-ha 🐓. 🍗🍗
Common sense farming . ...and happy chickens......win win
Except they have no overhead shelter from the winds, rain storms nor snow! No, the tree canopies are not enough during the cold rain season!
what is the size of your farm, how you're using the land for different crops, poultry and forest ??? Do you have any forests products in your farm
It doesn't matter how nice the setting and how well their lives are, in the end they end up as someone's dinner.
That’s amazing
Very nice
How do you gather them to go to the processing facility?
This is amazing!
How do you keep track if a couple of chicken fall sick?
Raccoons can kill so many chickens in one attack. How do you protect them from predators?
Racoon and possum heaven
Please explain who and where the final chicken products can be purchased.
How do you keep predators away
What about protection from hawks?
How many ‘free range ‘ chicken to you lose a year to predators?
What state do you guys live in
They still get eaten in the end 🍗
Delicious
you can't reasonably keep thousands of chickens as pets, she's doing her job and providing quality food for people.
You are what you eat. If you think blind, bald chickens in cages makes better eating then I don’t know what to say but you can definitely taste the difference.
Then we have foigras. Those force fed birds aren't what I would call the picture of health.
