Part of keeping a semi sustainable flock includes culling chickens from time to time. Today we process a rooster and make fresh chicken stock.
Homemade broth is easy to make and is also an incredibly flavorful and versatile ingredient. We pressure can the broth and walk you through the entire process.

I love how respectful you were to the rooster and thanked him for his service. I appreciate how you use every bit of the bird, from canning and a wholesome dinner to the dogs and compost. Thank you.

Yup, brought back memories of watching my grandpa "processing" the chickens out by the barn. As a young child, it all made sense when he explained each step and none of us was 'grossed' out and the end products were sure worth it. To this day, no purchased fried chicken or frozen processed chicken meals even taste like 'real' chicken. Of course, those days were back in the '40's and everything we used on the ranch was home grown or came from our livestock. Simpler times, harder times, but in a lot of ways, better times. Thanks for taking me back into grandma's kitchen. Even her pressure cooker was just like yours. Lordy, but time has sure flown by!

thank you for educating peeps that most people who harvest their own meat be it wild or tame have much respect for that animal

@richardrick8021 3 жыл бұрын

One of the things that I like most is when the person has to sacrifice an animal for their own consumption and still have respect for their life. If you notice this when Arielle explains the process and even in your tone of voice you can feel the weight of the animal's life in favor of it becoming a food, this is praiseworthy for a person who deals with animals and therefore my maximum respect. (Excuse me if there is something in this incorrect text, English is not my first language, but the google translator helped me with that.)

Hi, great video. Have you ever thought of making your own stock cubes... Let stock go cold, remove solidified fat. USE fat for sauteing can be refrigerated, frozen. Reduce stock down to a concentrated syrup-like consistency. decant into a container/Ice cub tray freeze. The gelatinous nature of the reduction frozen stock can be cut into squares and frozen. Reconstitute when needed. Space saver. Kindness your way Neil {Lochness Scottish Highlands }

Did my first two roosters a few days ago. It’s not easy, but it is a part of the life you chose. I too have chosen that life and have learned we are charged with giving them a good life and dispatch them appropriately. Merry Christmas Eric and Arielle.

I remember as kid seeing my grandmother killing chickens on Sunday mornings before mass. She always said a prayer before killing them. It's very important to be thankful for the animal's life and for the sustenance it'll provide to the family. Well done guys.

We have 20 hens and 2 1/2 roosters (the half is a little 3 lb, cross eyed bantam my youngest fell in love with🤣). Half of our hens are winding down their laying. I just don't have it in me to do anything else than let them live out their days here. I would have to be in a dire situation to do that since they are technically my youngest daughter's chickens (she is 20 now). They are more like pets who give us eggs as a bonus! That being said I was brought to tears with the respect and love you have given to the rooster who has blessed you with sustenance. God Bless 🥰

@snoopypeanut8938 3 жыл бұрын

Always add apple cider vinegar when cooking the stock adds great flavour but also pulls the collagen out of the bones. Another tip is to take your meat off the bones when cooked how u like it then continue cooking the bones for longer for the best nutrient filled broth

@ChewingBunny 3 жыл бұрын

Same here with the vinegar. I get a much more gelatinous stock using a glug of ACV. I'll always roast meat and then make stock with the leftover bones. Chicken, lamp, beef, it all works. I usually bring the bones to the boil in a crock pot, put the lid on, and pop it in the still-hot oven. If I turn the oven off and leave the door shut it stays hot for a long time overnight and the result is still warm in the morning. The bones are well and truly depleted of goodness by then.

One must hold up a mirror to people: they will say, "Oh no, this is awful!". Then they must stop consuming meat. You guys are doing a great job.To bad you are not showing the 'processing' in this video. People should know where their food comes from. People are so hypocritical sometimes: they eat chicken but don't want to see the history! Love you.

We raised chickens when I was young, my grandfather as well , he had one good hand so from him I learned that tying a rope around its neck, helps when you’re doing it yourself. The other hand will go under your foot. This also helps when there’s two of you the chopper could hold the feet. Your partner can hold the rope with the other end around its neck once the dirty deed is done hang on tight to those feet and turn your head You could also reverse this with the rope under foot of the chopper, and your partner, holding the feet .

When we had chickens, we had a special chopping block that had two large nails nailed into the top. The nails stood up above the block, one about 3 inches and the other a little less. One person could chop that way: Hold bird by the feet, gently lay the head down on the block next to the nails and lay the chicken down so the head is between the nails. The chicken is generally calm and has no idea what is going on, just straighten it out, keep head snug and bring the hatchet down right behind the nails. My mom taught me how to butcher birds, mostly because she hated doing it. I did too, but that's pretty much the point of raising your own, so I did it.

We culled a turkey this year. We gently said our goodbyes covered her eyes and humanly put her to sleep. We deep fried her for Thanksgiving. By the way we had to be creative frying her she didn't fit very well in the fryer she was a big girl. She had tons of meat. I just placed her in a pot for stock. This is my first time canning stock though I consider myself a veteran canner I've never canned stock. Trying to be more sustainable in all areas. We have about 15 chickens we lost 4 to a coyote this fall so they are now living in Fort knoxs so they are protected. Great video.
