When you raise your kids to “humanely” raise and process their own food, they have a much more appreciation for what they eat. Great jobs kids!

@aquiltingmama 4 күн бұрын

Wonderful family teamwork! You gave your children something precious by building self-reliance in them. Learning to count on themselves! A great gift.

Helpful synonyms Kill =process Gut=clean. Will soften the presentation of the event for more sensitive viewers 😊

@SimpleLifeReclaimed 4 күн бұрын

I hear ya on the first one - but when I hear clean I don't think "gut".. I think clean/wash. Sometimes I say "remove the innards" instead of gut. I don't wanna be so PC that it doesn't make sense lol 🤗💚

I was just looking at your title for your channel and thinking about the chickens we raised. I grew up working with chickens and I can tell you there's nothing simple about raising them, saving them from floods and predators, or processing them. We never tried to kill that many at one time either. We only did 5-6. We used the others as egg layers, a long with other breeds. We raised rabbits too, but paid someone else to process them and sell the pelts for us. They didn't have as much meat on them, but the pelts brought in a little bit of money for us. My grandma sold the eggs the chickens laid so that was a bit of money also. I loved how you had some gadgets to help with the process. We just did it by hand. The smell whenever one would be dipped in the hot water always gagged me. 🤢 Watching your channel just brought back memories. Great job processing all of them. ❤

They really don't need to make a video like this at all. They do it to torment those who don't want to see it. They need to move where violence is at a high so they can see why some of us don't want to see or hear about it. You can walk the streets in most cities now and see blood and gore.

We have done 40-60 birds every yr for the past few yrs. # yrs ago was our first time. It is such an amazing feeling to get them in the freezer and every meal you feed your family. That is the perfect amount of chicken for the yr for our family. Job well done guys! Very impressed with the kids hard work.

I'm 75 soon. I have had quite a lot of health issues, and I had gained 30 kilo while caring for my husband with ALS. That was 9 years ago. So after 2 total knee replacements. Hypothyroidism, edima, sleep apnea, and inflammation everywhere. So in Jan 2023 I did a 7 day water fast and then straight onto full carnivore. I have lost the 30 ks, rarely have any infamation show up in blood tests and I look fab. I had no issue going carnavor, so all cravings have gone. It was wonderful for me, so wishing you the same. I am basically still carnivore, although I do eat and apple with cheese for lunch or dinner a few times a week. Apples are low in oxylates, which I wish I'd known about 50 years ago. Oh well, better late than never, as they say. So best of luck and good health.

It’s such a feeling of accomplishment after each processing day. We love seeing others being successful in this lifestyle. We raise ours in mobile chicken tractors to keep the birds cleaner (but everyone property is different not saying it’s better). But you might consider using a deep litter method of wood chips and at the end you have also great compost material. Congratulations on reclaiming the simple life with your children.

🤔Good harvest. Now to figure out how much it costs to purchase and raise. Then you can compare at the price you would have payed to purchase at the local store. It's great that you know what they ate and how they were raised with no added chemicals. But did you save money Or not? Or do you just know that if the store is closed can you feed the family 😊 Also how long do you expect that to last before you have to do it again? Will you need to start with more birds or less? Same breed or different. Never-ending decisions on a homestead. But you seem to be making the right ones🤪 Congratulations Sidenote : The POCI yearly car show is going to be in Springdale, AK on the 19th and 20th of this month is free . I think that is close to you 🤪 If you do come Please stop at the PONTIAC PACE CAR and say HI. Hopefully, the car will be able to give you a bow. LOL

Very nice that you did the amount of birds in the time it took you guys the only thing i disagree on is the growing time and don't take me wrong as i am in a different growing zone than you guys we always received our birds around June 9th and butchered the end of September we use to get equal male and female we raised the roosters to butchered weight of 15-18 lbs and the hens 9-12 lbs we had very little health problems with them we only for our use kept the breast thighs and drumies and the livers we gave friends that wanted them the gizzards and wings the hearts and kidneys were treats for the dogs and then the carcasses we boiled for broth and every 12 birds we would get about 4-5 gal and when we did the hens they would have fat put on them and we did the same cuts as the roosters but the broth would double and be a lot more richer anddidany where from 50 -100 birds a year
