Yum!

I think people obsess too much about "feed conversion ratio." We cannot grow heritage birds (or our own cross breed fast growers) at the same rate and feed conversion to the commercially available Cornish Cross (Jumbo Cornish Cross, Cornish Cross Broiler, whatever all the hatcheries call it). Those are breeding lines are a proprietary secret that is trademarked and illegal for us commoners to know and access those birds to breed our own. It's bull crap. Hence the reason many people start homesteading. I think the goal for us is to grow our own gardens to feed our chickens so that we don't have to buy a lot (or any) commercial feed. Commercial feed is mostly wheat (or barley, rye, kamut, etc), corn, soybean meal) and minerals and vitamins added. It's healthier to provide our chickens a much more natural diet including grasses, natural weeds in the area, bugs (lots of bugs), some mice, small non-poisonous snakes, etc. I will be growing a large garden including oats, flax, corn, alfalfa, sunflowers, kale, spinach, cabbage, and more! It'll not only feed us but our flock. We will supplement with feed, not make it a staple diet (in an ideal situation). I'm only just starting my journey to raise birds for eggs and meat. I currently have a small flock of chickens and ducks, and I'm expanding very soon (this month) to include White American Bresse breeding stock, White Plymouth Rock, and Dark Cornish chickens. I will be doing experiments with those to see what I can produce for my own chicken meat.

Muy bonita tu granja , los animales se deben sentir como en el paraiso en ese ambiente natural, q placer levantarse con el alba para atender a tantos animales q dependen de ti; desde sentir su olor hasta ver q necesitan para cada año esperar mejores resultados, con la esperiencia acumulada en la practica diaria de tus propias aves, eso si es placer..

Cruce cornish macho con blanca de ceba y la primera generación se fusionó la escases de pluma, fortaleza inmune y el porte del cornihs, y se mantuvo el color blanco en mayoria y el metabolismo del broiler; en la segunda generación, cruzandolo con cornihs otra vez, me dió un cornih fuera de parametros y con el metabolismo acelerado del broiler. De cualquier forma el cornihs es una raza especial para trabajar con ella, sin miedo de sus resultados, desde q empoezas con la primera generación te das cuenta del mejoramiento si de carne o fortaleza se trata

@6:00 Stop vaccinating your animals, vaccines just weakens their natural immune system and makes them sick in general. You have no idea what substances are in those vaccines. For example, the Corona Beer vaccines.

Thank you for saying that about pig. The Bible tells us that we weren’t made to consume pig meat. I’ve been off pig meat for a few months and I feel better mentally and physically. 😊

One issue regarding your sick cornish birds could be chickens and ducks in a muddy environment🤷‍♂️ They are not designed for diversity of pathogens Years ago I tried the Meat bird breeding experiment. 😁 I mixed faverolles houdan and orpington. Beautiful Meat but they had feathrred feet, so I struggled with scaly leg😢

Mmmm Lancashire cheese, no matter where I go in the world, I miss it.

Big Red Broilers are sustainable, it doesn't mater that they are a hybrid, you can still get chicks out of them (mating a rooster and a hen), and keep as breeders, the best birds as they grow out. Every single heritage breed of chicken in existence started as a hybrid first. And roosters can be kept at night inside an insulated shed, in complete darkness, to keep them quiet, then released to be with the hens later in the morning after the neighbors are up, that is if you really want to keep a rooster in the city. The Big Red Broilers are most likely a hybrid cross between New Hampshires and Cornish Cross chickens.

Do you think the raw milk helps with the strong curd or the overnight culture?

I from Egypt .....that is beautiful ...I wished doing ...that is .... I wish you successful.

As someone who grew up on a poultry farm in the 50’s…. Back when “chickens” were still chickens… I can’t stomach the sight of the shapeless lumps of mushy flesh that pass these days for chickens. I pasture raise Narragansett turkeys and Bresse chickens for meat and eggs.

Barred rocks should be raised to 12 minum before butcher its a heritage bird not a meat bird. You did nothing its genetics.

Can you give the recipe for the British style lamb? I’ve been looking on Pinterest and KZbin and it looks like not a lot of people can lamb.

What did you feed them?

Hey, don't leave us hanging. I was hoping to watch you do the pantry challenge. Hope you are okay.

I live in Bangladesh and I loves hens I have some please send me some variety of hens

Why didn't you just say you weren't doing the pantry challenge? It is not called go buy more food for the fridge so we can eat what we want challenge.

Man, you are so on top of it! The freeze drying is brilliant!

Update ?

I appreciate this video soooo much! Thanks for sharing.

What is the wrap you use on the containers? I need that in my life 😂

I have been in three different kind of war, I am from Serbia. You don't need 10%of all things. Just relax, it's not the end of life!!!

Pear apple sauce?

That's one thing I need to stock up on is can fruit.

Your pantry is wonderful organized! Thumbs up! :)

I love your prepper pantry and especially that peg board on the wall to hang gravy packets! 😍

you would swear all we eat is cowboy candy and hot sauce i did a lot this year cause we run out last year we are almost out again this year i swear someones stealing it hahaha how did we go thru it all

Loving your videos

My body treats all carbs the same, except sweet potatoes. Licensed dietitians push whole grains and fruits, but they're still carbs!!! I had gastric bypass 17yrs ago and if I have too many carbs in a meal my pancreas thinks they are way more than was eaten and releases too much insulin. My bc drops dangerously and I need to bring it back up.

Looks like you guys still have a great stockpile! Good job using things up.

You can use the cranberry jellied canned as jelly like on a PB & J

That is crazy septic tank with no drain field. I have a septic tank with a drain field I just had my septic tank drained it was $400 I have lived here 6 years the guy that cleaned our septic out said he could tell by looking at our septic that it had never been cleaned since the house was built 25 years ago the thing is the people that lived here before was a couple with no kids so we moved in with a family of 6 filled the tank up so we ate going to clean ours out every 5 years.

Really enjoyed your pantry tour.... you have some gaps for sure, but you still have a lot of food on your shelves... I'm sure you'll complete the challenge no problem! Is there anything you are completely out of that you're really missing? I did a Low spend January and saved £200 on what I'd normally spend ( about $270 i think). My pantry got pretty bare so have had to restock but I hardly made a dent in the meat in our freezer so I am now doing a Zero spend on meat in February and it's going well... we're using up lots of random things & I'll definitely save money again this month. Thank You to you and all the others doing this challenge for giving us inspiration and ideas.

Hello. Just subbed. Love the homesteading community on KZbin.

I find it scary how we can eat out of the freezer for two weeks and make almost no impression on the contents! Just started to make an impression and my mum gave me a large cold bag full of frozen food, which all needs using.

Q Hints: after you run out of your preps...then what? 🤷‍♀️🤷‍♂️ #1 you can't grow all your spices #2 you can't mine salt #3 you can't possibly make every single thing you actually use....such as glass products. IT IS NECESSARY TO TRADE, BARTER, BUY, SELL....WE NEED EACH OTHER. Q

We started adding Tonys/cajun seasoning to the premade alfredo and it took it to another level of deliciousness.

My son's on the spectrum too (high functioning). Since he was 9 he's been responsible for getting his own food if he doesn't like what I make for dinner. He started with spaghetti O's and now at 13 he grills brats and burgers, fries eggs, and recently makes pancakes. For me, I'll have other options around, but I'm not going to make 2 meals.

Happy to see you back, hope your feeling better!

So glad you're feeling better. Love watching your videos.

Glad you are on the mend!

So I’m on video #2 and went ahead and subscribed. Your one of those shenanigan moms I so enjoy watching

I can think of other uses for duct tape too!! LOL!!

Thank you for sharing, this is so interesting! I live in Japan, where the selection of dairy products is quite limited. I can buy cream cheese in the supermarket (for like 4 dollars a block) but would like to try making my own. I can't get buttermilk here... Could yogurt be used as a substitute? Or should I look into importing the cultures? I think I could probably buy that online from overseas.

Feel better soon!

Do you own ceramic plates or only paper ones? Lol

I’ve never made my own cheese, but I’m adding it to my “need to learn” list. Enjoyed seeing your meals.

Keep thAt tummy strong, I feel ya I have chrones and on meds right now to get better. Take your time I k ow what it’s like when your sick.😊

❤🙏🙏xo
