- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 27 ก.ย. 2024
- Coming out of the 2019 vault, we decided to release this recorded lecture from the 2019 Homesteaders of America conference during this uncertain time, to help people learn how to grow their own food! One of the biggest draw backs from raising your own meat is the processing part of broiler birds. Enjoy this demo and lecture from the 2019 conference, where Joel Salatin from Polyface Farms shows you all the details, and the lifestyle, behind raising broilers.

Joel Salatin will be remembered as a pioneer in the homesteaders community forever.
Why are u talking like he died? Don’t jinx him. We need him around 🤞✌️
@@Ang.0910 no ones jinxing anyone !
Not just the homesteading community the whole agricultural movement, im just hoping more people follow his lead.
@Maurice Jalen
Are you a nutcase? Who wants to do what you just said would be a nutcase.
He sure will be !! He is definitely the boy scout leader of farming..!!!
Joel Salatin is an example of how one person can change the world.
I know it is a survival skill, but i can't get use to it, this hurts my heart soul and mind.
@@lsophial I never thought I'd be doing this because I've always been an animal lover. I thought I'd limit miself to egg layers but I have come to despise large processing plants because of the way birds are treated like assets and not living beings. Since we moved into our ranch we have taken responsibility for feeding ourselves in a humane and natural way and adding meat birds was a natural road to take. We treat our birds right and their suffering is limited to a micro second.
Most important is the fact that our animals live a good life eating bugs and grass suplemented with good feed. Enjoying the sun and wind. No hormones or unnatural things go in, a chicken living it's chicken life in a nice and clean piece of land.
My grandmothers both did this and I remember a chicken being processed right before cooking it so we could eat. It's the circle of life, everything eats something else. (Typo edit)
He has definitely changed mine.
@@lsophial so sheltered.

I want to stop 2 minutes in to say I love how you talk about taking a life , even a bird, should be done with reverence. Bravo. I don't have the guts yet.
3 years late on this one. Outstanding on every level. So many take aways from this! Many praises and thanks!
Worth $5-6k for AMERICAN made! Thank you, Joel! I can't wait to see you at the next HOA hopefully! Now that I know Doug & Stacy AND Joel will be there makes me so excited! 😇 God bless everyone out there that is starting to make their dreams a reality, and to us on the way to learning how to make it possible! 🙏
Is there a video that discusses how he found a market for his product. 6k investment is reasonable for the amount he is selling but how do we start creating a demand?
@@deangrant9399 farmers markets, nice restaurants (ask to speak to a chef they love buying good food) CSA programs roadside stand and word of mouth
As a city girl, after stumbling onto Joel videos, I don't understand why all animals aren't raised by his methods! His ways are good for the earth, the animal (happy), and those that eat the animals...win, win, win situation that is still profitable for the provider!!! Preach Joel!!! He makes me want to get a piece of land to raise my own food.
Was there to see it live, front row seat, but not one of the wet ones. Great presentation live just as good the second time around! Thanks Homesteaders of America for sharing. Looking forward to the event this fall!
Wow. I just wanted to learn how to process a chicken, I walked away with a lesson on life.
!
This is exactly what we need to see more of, including a detailed close-up video of gutting them. I've seen literally dozens of homesteading, and off-grid video's on TH-cam, and none of them want to show themselves actually processing their livestock up-close and personal. People have to realize that this is a frequent and essential part of this lifestyle, they have to become comfortable with it, and they have to know how to do it right. Thank you for this video, absolutely love Joel and appreciate learning anything/everything I can from him.
But TH-cam won't allow them to show the animal being dispatched which is part of the process.
You Tube completely shut down a few channels that did show all the details.
@@paulatwood998 I was actually surprised to see him cut the first bird. Didn’t see much but I know how ridiculous TH-cam is about things like that.
Well said, very detailed, thanks joel
Absolutely true!
I just watched you at a Google conference from 2011. I saw you on Justin's farm tour. Firstly, thank you for all you do. I am too old to see it but I would love to see young people get back to the farm. they would love what they raise and nurture hands on and appreciate them giving their life so others can live. They would be too busy to get into trouble and too tired to rant and rave all over tows. They would appreciate "Prayer Day" because they wouldn't have so many chores to do if they went to pray and thank their maker. GBY
Yeah wish I'd thought of doing this 20 years ago :)
Luckily, our one kid turned out pretty good -- she helps me with my raised beds, she's taken her hunters education courses, and we're going to get her out hunting this fall at age 15. Hoping to get 4-5 meat chickens next spring and get her involved.
If I'd started a homestead 20 years ago, I might have had 5 kids, to help with the chores! Next life, maybe.
Anyway it's inspiring to see all these folks getting into this.
My wife and I live in a rural part of Suffolk, Va across from the Great Dismal Swamp. We raise both layer and meat chickens and have a large garden. We don't believe in showering our grandson and nieces and nephews with expensive gifts that will be forgotten over their lifetimes. Instead we give them simple experiences that they will cherish throughout the years. While everyone gave my grandson fancy electronic toys, I spent a day carving him a wooden toy canoe like the one my father got as a boy then gave it to me. The look of wonder he gets on his face as he plays with the chickens or watches a seed he planted turn into a water melon is more meaningful than a thank you for some plastic toy he receives. The gift of a lifetime of loving memories my grandparents gave me is more cherished than anything they could have bought me. I want to give him the same. My eldest son and I are both masons and he told me I better not ever put a trowel in his hand ha ha.
How can You not Love and Respect this Man. Thank You Sir.
I have followed and learned from Joe for years. The most significant take away has not been the knowledge, but the perspective that allows the knowledge too grow.
Joe's the best
This was absolutely fascinating. He's a born teacher!
I cant believe more people didnt either watch or like this video. I learned so much and he should run for president and win every one would have land and animals America could truly be a paradise.
Who are they to sell land that the father owns.When you buy land they never give you true owner ship of so how do you ever own the land.then they tax you for the land that they dont own .they tax you because they never gave you the actual land dead owner ship notice how that sounds land dead owner ship. Sounds like a boat doesn't it but on dry land.
Think about it 😕😕😕😕😕😡😡😡
If they tax you for land you don't own it.
Because true owner free and clear deed
Doesn't pay taxes on land they own free and clear and holds deed to.😡😡😡😡?? ?? ?????????
@@valeriebyrd321 also you can have other people or the government own mineral rights and other absurdities on your so called land...but yes I've heard this my whole life 😁 sadly I doubt it will ever change
@@patrickhaupt3678 The sad truth is we're islaved from the day we get a birth birth certificates then were in the system and ssn we are truly inslaved.they tryed to prevent me from texting this truth.
@@valeriebyrd321 I feel like we have watched a lot of the same video's...the one explaining birth and its relationship to ships and compares human life to commodities also talked about IRS and ssn... my all time favorite is the doctor from the 60s explaining what the agenda was and all the correlations to our present.
@@valeriebyrd321* Dr. Richard Day
Joel, you are the absolute best ! You educate and amaze us with your humbleness !
Watching this from Papua New Guinea and I learned a lot from this video about chicken processing.
Thank you.
That was amazing!! More than just learning how to butcher chickens, it gave so many discourses on how to farm as well. Greatest camera work I have ever seen to demonstrate how to process a chicken!!! Well done!!
the forcing cone was a game changer for us. So simple and brilliant in its simplicity.
we call it the cone of silence
Joel, if you were to go for president, we all know that you would NOT be out golfing, you'd be on your farm educating. Something that is needed today. Go for it.
❤❤❤❤❤❤
I ran into this video cause I was researching my own butcher shack that I will be building this winter to prep for meat birds next spring. I have since watched everything by jole salatin and have just fallen in love with his work. Thank you Joel. You have confirmed alot of the tings I am doing in life and taught me soo much. Thank you joel salatin
I am culling my first 100 this weekend. I have watched this video about 100 times . This man is just packed with information
Never seen a humorous, well informed, and down to earth entrepreneur in my whole life as you Sir. From Fiji with love.
Thank you Joel and Team! I've listened and watched and learned so much. Today we butchered our own and with some help from experience friends it went great. I'm planning on expanding. Thank you for sharing your knowledge so freely! God bless you
This is the best video I've seen on this subject of processing birds!
We are new to Homesteading and this is priceless information thank you Joel!!
Same here. I've watched several videos and this one several times.
@@Jj-gi2uv aba acaba a aba a ab.

He is such a wealth of knowledge, an amazing speaker and teacher. Joel for president!
We raised a winter flock if meat birds, today is harvest day...🤞 Thank you for the inspiration Joel.
I'm starting 150 birds this summer using his method. We'll see how it goes
So much to learn from this video, not the least of which is how to share your passion.
Mr Joel is a great person with mountain of knowledge and very humorous 👍🌹🌺🌺🌷🌹
my hat off to you Joe
at the times we live You are a God sent!!!
Ohnui
This is possibly the most important video on TH-cam
If not #1, it's up there!
Happy to have finally started my homestead after years of watching these videos and now starting my own channel. Kinda bummed that we cant attend the conference in 2020. Was looking forward to finally meeting some fellow homesteaders.
Wow, more information in one video than the thousands I have watched before.
Just bought that book, God bless this man
What a great guest.🐔
A little tough to watch but SO much VITAL information. Thank you for THOROUGH tutorial. God BLESS ya'll
🇺🇸🏠🙏
What a great and amazing story I’m glad everything is working out for the best definitely Inspiring and I can’t wait to get my land and start a homestead
I knew this was not hard but did not know exactly how, now I do, thanks much.
I actually laught so hard watching this video, this will be our first dispatching coming up, 100 Cornish cross. You have took alot of fear out of it. I only wish I had the plucked. We live in Alaska and our birds did fine!
Joel Salatin is the BEST.
So enjoyed this video. Lots of great explanations and repetition of the butchering
I learned so much and was not bored. 🤓 I'm educated and ready to pluck.
On my grandparents farm, it was my job to clean the gizzards. I still love gizzard, but unfortunately at my age I can't eat them. We dressed chicken the old fashion way but as a city girl I enjoyed the country life.
Re: inspection/regulation is about sales not safety
In my farm direct sale business (ginseng), I sold direct at night markets in Vancouver, Canada. My original strategy was to give out small free samples of ginseng tea to draw customers in to my stand and to demonstrate quality. One season I decided to try selling full cups of tea. This required that I rent a food stall and get licensed by the local Health Authority. My inspection took about 30 seconds!!
So if I gave it away it was safe but if I sold it there was a safety issue. lol
Sell the cup for what the cup and tea are worth .If they buy the cup for that price they get the tea to try for free in the cup.There is ALLWAYS a way.mm🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔👍throw away coffee cups.
Buy a cup get free tea to try as a sample.
🌝🤗🌝🤗🌝🤗🌝🤗🌝🤗🌝🤗🌝🤗
Your not selling the tea your selling the cup so they get a free sample.
Free tea sample when you BUY a coffee cup.
Excellent video.
We completed our 76 birds today using child labor.
They watched this video.
I wish I had. I have done thousands of birds. This is the video you want to watch.
HE IS IN THE SHENANDOAH VALLEY OF VIRGINIA... I ALSO USED
TO LIVE THERE IN THAT AREA.
HOPING TO GET BACK SOMEDAY SOON
this was great. i will have to process some chickens later in the year for food. and this was a great help. thank you.
Thank you so much for sharing this!!
This was an amazing experience thank you for the informative lecture.
A outstanding video ! So knowledgeable… Thank you for educating & entertainering us … Thank always learn something new 👍🇺🇸💕🏡
That speech made so much sense. Reminded me of "Finding meaning in suffering and in death" as written by Viktor Frankl in Man's search for meaning.
I just ordered 3 of his books
Thank you for sharing. Very valuable.
Thank you sir for all of the information I need to process my backyard birds to feed my family.
Entirely magnificent!
Everyone (and I mean everyone) should watch this.
A Mastercrafts' man.
Thank-you, Joe Salutin!
Great Information! We can all learn something from Joel Salatin, Thank you Doug and Stacy 🐓
Love the reverence. Great info for production type processing and appreciate the info but myself I think I'll stick to the head removal. I need to be SURE of a quick clean kill to do it myself
Is there a disadvantage(s) to killing them by chopping the head off as opposed to this method? Does it affect the quality of the meat or anything like that?
@@meatqna I think they are supposed to bleed out better, making those little blood clots you sometimes find close to the bone less likely
@@jessicab9147 thank you for the info
@@meatqna he explains at 9:05
Holy crap, I guess I live in a crazy cheap part of the country because people here would NEVER pay that for chicken! Fortunately, thanks to people like Joel, I get to raise my own luxury meat for stupid cheap.
That was very informative! Entertaining as well!
This is absolute gold
I'm doing my 9 broilers 1 died this Saturday. This was great I appreciate the info
Wow that is effective way to process chickens.
I just learned to rotate my chicken from head to toe! Thanks bro. I also found a way to make a chicken plucker at home.
Thanks for teaching.
2 rules
-keep your mouth shut
-if you feel something on your lip, do not lick it!
😂🤢😉
M
I LMBOOOO AT THAT COMMENT HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
Great rules to live by! Same applies when riding a motorcycle! Don't want bugs in the grill! 😂
Maybe you should be taking your own advice btw the brown spec on ur lip aint chocolate! Its 💩coming out your mouth.
My wife found that out the hard way. I haven't the heart to post the video of her gagging, spitting and screaming for water. Well maybe if she passes away before me he he.
Just came across your channel
Wish I would have found you months ago now a subscriber
I’ve learned a lot just from this one vid I will be looking thur your library of other items. And will also save this vid to have to come back to research
Living legend
Thank you. Truly beautiful.
Awesome
The heads and feet added make a better stock. Any part of the chicken that has bone that I can’t sale goes into stock same as rabbits and any other animal we raise. We do However throw all those parts after stock into our compost piles
My grandfather walked me through cutting up a chicken on the phone just like you are doing it.
It's nothing like a yard of roadis land chickens.its a beautiful to a yard of chicken
Great video love Joel
sharp knife detail: some metals cant be sharped cos micro particles do not have sharp corners. such metal can be hard as hell but not good for knife. had one when i was a kid. so if it does not cut after sharpening attempt - compare to other metal to make sure you not in that situation.
Gold! Thank you!
I had a bad habit of using a 22 to the head to do chickens until I started doing larger and larger batches
very interesting. Thanks for sharing.
Hey Joel Just thinking even though you are really good at bringing up both Question with your answer it would be nice to hear the question or the the question repeated before you answer the question. Just a thought, you do so well answering and explaining and being completely down to earth.
Thank you so much for this information 🙏
Great video god bless
I've cleaned a LOT of gizzard...I still love them. Lol
Super Awesome and informative video.
Great video
Honor Life, That Is Awesome ! • “Therefore, I exhort first of all that supplications, prayers, intercessions, and giving of thanks be made for all men, for kings and all who are in authority” (1 Tim 2:1-
I was there this year! 2019!
PROUD DAVAOHENYO 👊👊👊...thanks love your demo
Great video but what about washing the dirt and manure on your hands before processing the bird.
We all must be desperate for something to do watching this. 🇺🇲
Back in the 1950s and 60s, my grandfather raised chickens and turkeys. Each
year he would process about 130 turkeys for the Thanksgiving season. He used
a similar funnel system as you do, but he would NOT cut the throat ! Instead,
he would cut the throat right under the head, and continue cutting until he had
separated the head from the neck. ( His cat, Topsy, got the heads ! ) The
heart continued beating until the blood had drained out, and the bird was killed
instantly. You might want to consider this.
You mention that you want to cut the Jugular Vein. I'm sorry, but you are totally
wrong. The Jugular is a VEIN. To drain the blood quickly, you must cut an ARTERY !
That would be the Carotid Artery, which is the main artery in the neck.
However, if you just cut the veins and arteries, the spine is left intact, and the bird
can continue to struggle and flap around, even confined to the funnel. This can
result in bruises to the meat, especially to the wings and legs - this is very unsightly
when you are carving the bird - you get ugly ' blood blisters ' in the meat. This is
why, after cutting the head off of a chicken, you NEVER let it ' Run around like a
chicken with it's head cut off ! " That can spoil your Sunday Dinner !
When you sever the head from the Turkey or Chicken, the bird dies almost instantly,
the head is dead in just seconds. But, the Heart will continue to beat, pumping the
blood out through the neck, until the body is completely exsanguinated. In fact,
the heart continues to beat for about two minutes, and then the last of the muscles
goes completely limp, and it is safe to remove the bird from the metal funnel.
Since the severed neck was in the bottom of the funnel, the lowest point in the
bird, when the heart is finished beating , you have completely ' bled out ' the bird,
and will have a perfect, un-bruised, clean carcass, ready for plucking, gutting,
and cleaning prior to freezing or cooking.
The slaughter of animals of all types for meat and other products is a necessary
part of farming and our omnivorous diet. That being said, it is incumbent upon
every decent, reasoning person who engages in farming to take every effort of
minimize the pain and suffering of the animals we kill for our own subsistence.
Ok first off..... Joel Salatin for President 2024. Next, what is the name of the company that supplied the processing equipment?
i came for the chicken, i stayed for the lesson in freedom
So much knowledge in one video.
Thanks
Watching this again as a refresher before sending ours to freezer camp on Saturday 😉 Does anyone know who Jim is? The man with the processing equipment? What is his business name?
Great video! What was that cockerel chicken he mentioned?
Thank you.
Thank you.... Just... Than You!
Love it
9:40 JS: Nice point on the halal; except the head can't come off and you add a short blessing. The head can be removed when its being dressed.
He wasn't kidding, those were some BIG chickens!
In my childhood when I visited my grandparents, grandma used to save head and gizzard as well as the liver and lungs and cook all together. Guess what my favorite part was? The brain!
