When I was a kid , We all stayed at my Amish Grandmas farm each summer an help on the farm . When it was time to butcher chickens. We would grab a chicken by the legs our aunts would cut off the heads and we,d toss them in the yard where the chicken would flop around until it died . Then we dunk them in hot water a couple times then a bucket of cold water . pluck the feathers off that way.

Such a great informative video!! Real life on the farm!! Growing up we raised 65 Cornish Cross every year!! We butchered the old fashion way though! Didn’t even know they had those butchering things!! Thanks for all the education!! My dad would grab the wings, tuck them back with the feet. Then he’d cut off the head, let it bleed out. Once done he’d dunk it in boiling hot water. Then he’d pull it out and quickly pull off most the feathers especially the wing and tail feathers, after he got most the feathers off he’d pass it to one of us kids where we’d pull out all remaining feathers and then we’d take it to my mom where she’d cut it up and get it ready for packing. Thought about those memories many times through out my life! I know people don’t like seeing this stuff, but it is a necessary part of life especially if you like to eat!! Great job!! Anyone can butcher a chicken now!!!

I find that baby chicks take very quickly to nipple waterers and this cuts down big time on daily maintenance since they’re not kicking poop and chips into the open waterers. Also set their feeder on something to get it a little little bit higher than the bedding so it doesn’t get filled with chips so fast. I bury a concrete block in the bedding and set it on that.

Hi Zach, thanks for this great and helpful video. What type of Sheers did you use to cut out the spine? I guess you keep the whole chickens for making Chicken soup, where you would have more bones for flavor. Glad that you showed the process of cutting the breast meat away from the bone. I often wondered the best way to do that. Once you have home raised chickens, it is hard to eat chicken purchased at a store.

Zach, thank you for this excellent video! It was very informative and helpful. My hope someday is to get some layers, and maybe eventually some broilers. Have you ever tried filleting the rest of the meat from the carcass prior to cooking? I know that when we have a whole roasted chicken, after we remove the major pieces from it, I like to take it and cut off what's left on the carcass. This will then make another meal or two for sandwiches, and loose meat for other recipes. And this will still leave enough scraps on the carcass for making stock. I'm wondering how it would work if the remaining fleah was removed from the carcass, prior to cooking it? We prefer the dark meat because it has a higher fat content, but we will eat everything. God Bless you both.
@ThePasturedHomestead

I love the dark meat as well. Lately I've been making fried chicken sandwiches with the thighs! I think you are right, I should cut the extra pieces off the chicken to make another meal! After we make our broth we feed all the meat to our dogs and everything else to our pigs so at least it doesn't go to waste!
