When you ask, "Why are you here?" I always want someone to say, "Well, I thought I was going whitewater rafting but I made a wrong turn...." Love Sow the Land. 😊
no, no crated chickens! you are doing the right thing by keeping them in the chicken tractor overnight🤩 CONGRATULATIONS on your successful chicken workshops!💥👌
maybe i am just in my feelings today but, when you talked about the sense of community i did tear up. Jason you and your family have a good thing going. you're so humble and giving. thank you
You and Lorraine were such great teachers and wonderful hosts!! Thank you! I feel much more confident now after taking your class. I would recommend anyone getting meat birds to take their class!!
I have raised chickens and processed chickens all my life. As a matter of fact it goes back many generations in my family. A lot of it is matter of fact for me. It thrills me so much to see how all the stuff I have done all my life is become a movement! We never had chicken pluckers and it is a game changer!! I have learned so much by watching everyone on TH-cam. Y’all are doing a wonderful thing Jason and Larraine!!
I was going into withdrawal missing you guys!!! I love your videos and it’s amazing how much the animals are growing!! Yeah, what is Lorraine doing- miss her too !!!
Such a nice group of people, all learning together, and I will bet during the down times there was a lot of sharing other farm life ideas from different states. You and Lorrain and your FIL have this down to a science. Lorrain, your strawberry jam looked yummy. Those were beautiful berries. Thanks for sharing and y'all have a Blessed day. BTW Jason, you are just having way too much fun in that truck. I saw a You Tuber in France that had one similar with a dump bed on it. I thought about you right away, hauling chips etc. 😀😀😀
Just finished 100 birds. Big red broilers like you and can’t remember the name of the other. Did 50, then 2 weeks later another 50. Lots of work but glad it’s done. The other were white birds . My son raised them, then we all jumped in to help as a family.
Last year I purchased 6 Cornish cross. I wanted to learn the skill of processing my own chickens. After watching your videos I was successfully able to do that. This year I bought 10 RUDD Rangers from Hoover hatchery out of Rudd Iowa. End of September I will be practicing my skills again. Thanks for the inspiration .❤❤
My mom processed her chickens a bit differently; after cutting the chickens into pieces, she placed them into milk cartons, covered them with water and froze them. This method kept the flavor for a longer period of times.
You guys have come such a long way from learning how to do all this yourself just what feels like a few years ago (I guess it has been around 9 or 10 years already though already) to teaching these things. It has been so cool to see.
A years worth of chicken in my family of 4 is 63 broilers if we have chicken 3 times a week. 1 meal is 2 breast or 8 tenders or 2 leg quarters. I sell the wings and feet to some Asian friends use the livers and hearts to fish and the feathers go in the long term compost pit. We usually do 30 or so twice a year.
We've never raised meat chickens, but if we decide to do so, we would try the Red ones you raise, they just look so much healthier to me. We get our meat chicken from local Amish.
I live near Strawberry country in western Mid-Florida. My favorite strawberry preserve is frozen. My mother found the recipe on the pectin box years ago. The bright red of the strawberries is not lost as it is in the canning process.
Its just amazing what the Beef Boys and those chickens have done to feed your soil to grow grass I remember what it looked like when you move onto the farm
It's funny how the first batch of meatbirds I do each year i feel like I'm relearning what was so natural by the end of last year. Stay safe and God bless you my friends 🌱🐐🐄🐓🐖🌱 Lisa
I did it last year. I was the only one who butchered them all. Only thing I didn't do was the chicken plucker. Butchered 60 in 3 days.. my back was killing me. Canned some of them ..rest I froze
I used to help my dad butcher chickens, turkeys and ducks. I don’t think I could do it now. I’m not vegan or vegetarian but I have a soft spot for the animals I care for. For the time being I keep eating the eggs and thanking the girls for what they provide. Perhaps I’ll change my mind when to many young roosters start sounding off.
As a younger child we “huge extended family” all went to my aunts house and butchered chickens (the hard way) still embedded in my head. I would definitely do again if someone would do the deed cause I can’t do that! I have my grandmothers butcher block (where she put chicken in and cut head off) 😢. And I have her knife she always used. Saved a lot of money they said when we were younger!
In answer to your question...Although I respect and appreciate this process, I could only do this if I had to! Thank God I don't have to. I am too tender hearted. I would be haunted in my sleep. I do love your videos though. You have a sweet family! Love from Texas ❤
I’m going to have to say this, it’s easy when you’re helping someone else with their birds. Because doing your own birds, you have a connection. You talk to them. feed them. you raise them from babies and then they have one bad day and if you don’t cry when you process those birds, you have no heart.
Do you have to change out the fingers of your chicken plucker from time to time? Do the fingers need to be flexible? Mine seem to be very hard and rigid. Anyone, please share some advice as I can't seem to find the answer by searching internet.
I heard lil rooster crowing, mine started last week. They are 2 months old, dual purpose. You just answered 12 weeks is when to harvest. What about 5 month for dual purpose? Too late? Thanks❤ Wish I was there to get my own guts to do mine
Do you order straight run? I probably don't know my roosters from my hens well enough but it looked like there were both there. I had heard the roosters tended to fight if hens were in with them.
I'm so interested in getting started doing this for my family, but is raising chickens for meat and eggs less expensive than going to the grocery store? And if we wanted enough chickens for eggs/meat for a family of 6, what's the right number of chickens to own? These are questions I'm desperately seeking answers for, so any advice would be really appreciated.
I learned from jnull0 I was visiting one day and he said come on we got some roosters to process I was like ok I had never skinned a chicken but that was totally different

Mercy, those baby pigs in that pasture are so dang adorable

Love Sow the Land. 😊
Those baby kune kunes love those clovers. They're so stinking cute snarfing down the grass.
no, no crated chickens! you are doing the right thing by keeping them in the chicken tractor overnight🤩 CONGRATULATIONS on your successful chicken workshops!💥👌
The shot of you and Penelope opening the coops, in tandem, and turning around was straight out of a Wes Anderson film. 🤓
maybe i am just in my feelings today but, when you talked about the sense of community i did tear up. Jason you and your family have a good thing going. you're so humble and giving. thank you
HAPPY SINCEREST FATHER'S DAY 💙 MANY PRAYERS 💙💖YOUR WAY. NURSE JUDI IN SCOTTSDALE AZ AND EUCHARISTIC MINISTER ❤❤❤
Love how the piglets are hidden by the new clover patch they are really cute 🥰
I love that you are teaching people I learned as a young girl how to butcher it is something that you always have to go back to when you need to
I can see a definite improvement in the grass health. 🇦🇺🎸⚡️🤘🏼🤘🏿💋❤️
Your little farm truck is coming in really handy!
You and Lorraine were such great teachers and wonderful hosts!! Thank you!
I feel much more confident now after taking your class. I would recommend anyone getting meat birds to take their class!!

I was going into withdrawal missing you guys!!! I love your videos and it’s amazing how much the animals are growing!!

I always love watching your pigs, so entertaining😊
Nice class Jason, and Lorraine (and Dad).
This could be a permanent segment. “ what’s Lorraine doing today “.
I love watching people learning
doing our first batch this weekend on 1/3 of an acre!! anyone can do it!
It's always fun and relaxing watching you all - whatever you do. Keep it up!

I always enjoy your videos of the chicken 🐔 processing days. Thank you for sharing and God bless!
The pigs are adorable!
I love that you guys do this. Our local co-op puts on processing seminars, which is a great resource!
No, the feet for your chicken soup! & they are delicious! Great Asian recipes as well.
One of these days we are coming out there!

Great video!
My 13 hens are getting fat off grasshoppers! They barely touch their feed.

Yay Another video. Love your videos
Yay! Thank you!

Getting ready to process our meat birds in the next couple of days
Those KuneKune babies are just adorable….
I started learning to butcher chickens back in the 60's with my mom each summer. Now my granddaughter is watching me.
You all are doing the new world education, for folks who will live in the future . . . praise your great work. Rebirth of the pioneer. Cheers.
Awesome video! The little piggies running around are always so cute haha
Y’all are just the BEST! ❤
Thanks for sharing ur life with us blessings from North Texas ❤
Hands on is the way to learn. Thanks for sharing 👍 love from Virginia ❤️

Grew up on that, it's to die for. Also freezer slaw.
This is so interesting. Thanks for all you do for the people. Wish there was more of this on other homesteading channels.
I love the huge impact y’all make when sharing your priceless knowledge
those piglets are sooo cute
I think it's great, what you are offering for people to learn, in person.+
Its just amazing what the Beef Boys and those chickens have done to feed your soil to grow grass I remember what it looked like when you move onto the farm
Welcome home 🏡

I liked the falling over to driving down the road transition. Smooth.
Love watching your content

Great job you guys 💪💪💪! God bless 🙏❤️🤗
Clover must be delicious. Our local wild bunnies love it!
those piglets are the cutest lawnmowers!
Thanks another great video, I live in B C Canada so missed joining your work shop,
Thank you for your sharing, from down under here.
Definitely hands on is best but i can’t find a place near me in U.K. so I keep trying to see your online 😊

Saved a lot of money they said when we were younger!
We’ve done a years worth and done them a month at a time. Doing it all at once is soooooo much better
Good 👍 Content as always thanks love watching you guys Pete cape town south Africa
Freezer jam is the way to go, it’s delicious!
In answer to your question...Although I respect and appreciate this process, I could only do this if I had to! Thank God I don't have to. I am too tender hearted. I would be haunted in my sleep. I do love your videos though. You have a sweet family! Love from Texas ❤
Do you ever go to get into the wrong side of your farm truck or regular vehicle since they both drive on different sides??? I certainly would lol 😂
all the time! Lol. Even press in the imaginary clutch in my Toyota. 🙃
You guys are awesome
Everything looks so good!
I process 45 earlier on in the year. Had a few die on me Ross 308
Turns out they were roll over on their back and couldn’t roll back over.
Excellent !!!
Blessings +++!!!

They're eating that clover "like pigs". 🍀🍀🐖🐖
I've butchered before but, I'm still not sure if I'm doing it right.
Nothin' To It, But To Do It!
Jason how big is the netting area for the pigs?
We’re about to butcher our McMurry broilers in the next few weeks! So this is perfect! What size bags did you guys get?
Your grass has come a long way.
The Big reds look so much better than the Cornish Cross. Poor old Cornish Cross can barely walk around much less fly.
Hello everyone I just wanted to know if you’re keep the feet or the chickens to eat. You’re all are doing a good job.❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Enjoyed the video
SoCal still sucks, but we are at Disneyland today, so life is not that bad!
I hope you will watch this video when you are on "It's A Small World!"
@@SowtheLand we will do, for you!
The traffic sucked coming here. But it is a fun day for the kids.
Do you have to change out the fingers of your chicken plucker from time to time? Do the fingers need to be flexible? Mine seem to be very hard and rigid. Anyone, please share some advice as I can't seem to find the answer by searching internet.
How do you make your pens? Would love to see a video on it. Awesome video
Do you have something on the table legs to make the tables higher?
I heard lil rooster crowing, mine started last week. They are 2 months old, dual purpose. You just answered 12 weeks is when to harvest. What about 5 month for dual purpose? Too late? Thanks❤
Wish I was there to get my own guts to do mine
When will you have another chicken butchering class
Do you order straight run? I probably don't know my roosters from my hens well enough but it looked like there were both there. I had heard the roosters tended to fight if hens were in with them.
I'm so interested in getting started doing this for my family, but is raising chickens for meat and eggs less expensive than going to the grocery store?

These are questions I'm desperately seeking answers for, so any advice would be really appreciated.
I wonder what the pigs and chickens are thinking withvthe moving back and forth lol
!ALGORITHM!
Do ya'll have a plan for self-sufficiency in hatching your own chickens?
Especially where Cornish Cross don't propagate
I learned from jnull0 I was visiting one day and he said come on we got some roosters to process I was like ok I had never skinned a chicken but that was totally different
You ought to try plucking a 100 head by hand ever mouth
