Living Traditions Homestead is all about living a simple and sustainable way of life. We believe the world has gotten too “busy” and that people are missing out on many of the true blessings this world has to offer. We started as a small urban homestead in Gilbert, AZ and after the city grew up around us, decided it was time leave corporate America and take a big leap of faith by moving our family to the Missouri Ozarks.
We put out new videos every week! We hope you will become part of our homestead family by subscribing to our channel and watching as we give up the rat race and live simpler, more fulfilling life in the country.

Interesting. I find the biggest reason folks are having trouble with toughness in the older birds or any bird for that matter is that they speed up the chilling process, much like they do for the cornish. After butchering older birds should remain in a chill bath for a minimum of 24 - 48 hours. Personally, I chill in ice water for 4 - 6 hours (even for cornish) and then drained and put into the fridge to chill for the remaining time. This allows the rigor process to happen and the natural acids to tenderize the meat, much like you hang a beef before cutting up. When cooking,, a slow oven is also key! I did some 10 month old birds, cooked up some legs, thighs and breasts and you could cut with a fork. Anyway, just my opinion. Thanks for sharing.

I must say, when you do videos like this, along with your normal “get the job done” content, it’s easy to see what dynamos you both must have been in your prior careers. Given that, how brave you were to jump off that horrible corporate hamster wheel! You are seriously great models for all who dream about homesteading. Thank you for truly exceptional content.

@jeannamcgregor9967

You don't often see both "roasting" younger chickens and "stewing" older chickens in the store anymore, so people have forgotten the cooking conventions for different aged birds.

@jeffreygraf3358

Sustainability is the key to this breed. You're not having to depend on the uncertainty of the supply chain to maintain your flock.

@highlandhoneybee

This is my 3rd year with them and I'm pleased with the results. They grow pretty fast in comparison to other dual purpose birds, the meat is excellent, and they are better layers and lay larger eggs than say, the Orpingtons or Wyandottes. I love my assortment of heritage breeds, but if I had to pick only one for production, be it meat or eggs, it's the Bresse, hands down.

@hillarywattenbarger3203

My grandma told me when she was a little girl that they didn’t eat any chicken over 5lbs because it wasn’t “normal”. They raised all the animals they ate and you just didn’t hear of these massive birds back then! ❤️

@Sarah-ff2kf

We have a mixed flock of free range chickens. Egg production was horrible this summer. After you mentioned too many roosters could slow production of eggs… I removed several roosters. Literally doubled egg production overnight. Thank you so much for mentioning that.

As a carpenter that is semi retired, i turn work away everyday here in Missouri. There are very few you,ger carpenters in my area and all the older ones are trying to retire like me. If he is a honest decent carpenter, he will have no problem making a very good living in Missouri.

@lauripine8894

The older birds are called stewing chickens. They are cooked very differently.

@russellwood8750

Have to say I prefer my Plymouth rock chickens. They’re not particularly noisy. They are not aggressive. Easy to handle and very good with children. Good in Canadian winters eat a snowstorm for breakfast. Absolutely great egg layers +200 a year and beautiful big brown eggs. Give them lots of greens and you’ll get amazing orange yolks. Really good mothers. Can be butchered at 16 weeks or older. The meat is tasty and juicy and who doesn’t love that.

@MarciPrice-cl6eq

My husband has 11 chickens that follow him around our tiny property...so much so, that 4 days ago, he forgot to close the storm door...I had 6 hens in my house...😅😅😅

Dear Kevin and Sarah,

@onemorchatykathy

I love your teaching video’s. I wish I had been interested in this lifestyle as a young married woman but I wasn’t. Now I’m too old and alone but I enjoy living it thru both of you. God bless you both, ❤

@carolavant3778

Thank you so much for the update! Last Spring, I got my first batch of AB chicks from North Star Farms, and couldn't be happier! My homestead is considerably smaller, but even so, in this day and age sustainability is so very important. I listened to you folks, and did my research. These birds are amazing! They arrived vigorous and larger than the Barred Rock or Rhode Island Reds I had previously raised. No, these are not like Buff Orpingtons - not the kind you'd raise for your kids' pets - but they are not aggressive, either. They make it clear that they really don't want to be picked up, but become quite docile when you do! One thing to beware of, though, is they're smart, and have minds of their own. I have one hen that I refer to as the "escape artist." All of the others are content to stay in the run until I let them out, but not this one. It took me a week of watching her to figure out how she was doing it, too. Little minx!!!

@grazinggreensfamilyfarm

We started raising AB 1 1/2 years ago, just this week we rehomed our small flock of 10 breeders.

@Rachel-uj4dg

We use chicken tractors as means to protect our meat chickens from predators and hawks… They get moved everyday and are not free fed… definitely not the same as confinement.
