The best part about raising the bresse is that they are able to breed and produce more meat without being reliant on a hatchery! They can also be crossed with larger breeds like English Orpingtons, and with an outcross like that you add in hybrid vigor

Excellent! I am thankful for all of the mobile chicken coops in one place!

And I love hearing people's experiences with harvesting meat birds the first time. I've never known life without it. It may sound weird and kinda morbid. But as kids, it was our favorite time of year. When grampa would ring their necks, we chased them til we caught them or they dropped. It was The Best Time as a farm kid. But quickly it turned to work because I had to help pluck the feathers. (By hand and hanging from the clothesline, if they made pluckers in the 80s we were too poor to know). Anyway.

I'm subscribed to you and The Nakid Gardeners, L💕ve both channels! Even an old hand like myself can learn new tricks! I grew up growing and butchering our own, I don't enjoy the killing, it's just part of it, I believe in a fast kill, so there is no pain or suffering. I have no problem harvesting to feed us, I know what I raise is for that purpose. I Do Not Condone Trophy Hunting, I hunt to feed us, that's how I was raised.

Yes, I have a hard time as well with processing any animal. We say a little prayer to give thanks to God and to the animal. Thanks for subscribing and watching. We truly appreciate you.

When half of your incubated chicken eggs are roosters it becomes a necessity. Big motivators for us were many males, feed costs, and time doing chores. Bonus is the quality of the meat.

Aww thanks. I love wearing silly shirt during our videos

You guys don't have coyotes, raccoons, weasels and other wild life? They can chew right through chicken wire. However, I really like the idea of ripping the 2x4's and how to prepare the feed. Thankyou for the great info.

[@TheNakidGardeners]

We do have coyotes, hogs, raccoons and owls. For our breeder tractors we have them enclosed with a Gallagher electric fence with a solarizer. The fence is used as a first line of defense. Tractor is second. The bottom layer is hardware cloth so it will be harder to chew right thru. I do see your concerns though.

[@shellyholmes6652]

@@TheNakidGardeners thankyou for your response. I figured you guys already had something in place but wanted to bring it to your attention to be on the safe side. I love your videos but haven't had a chance to watch them all yet!

The guy wanted to change the game up with every different kind of chicken tractor that’s good for us to see so we can see what works for us may not work for him but he decided to do them all I think it was a better idea to try them all…

[@TheNakidGardeners]

Yea we knew we needed four built. We just kept modifying them each time. Learning from our experience of the past build.
