Glad to see these chickens raised with dignity

[@rebekahcanova6403]

You did an excellent job on this documentary Samuel!!! We cannot wait to see more!!!

[@southfilmco.7859]

Thank you!

[@spoolsandbobbins]

This is so helpful and inspiring! We’re doing the same for our family. More and more people are getting sick and more and more people are growing their own food. This is the way it should be! Grateful from Canada

[@leroyjwah1975]

I'm happy for these people

[@matthewlins6075]

What a great documentary! We're about to embark on our own journey up in the panhandle!

"Wow, the production quality of this video is amazing (5:22)

[@denisewilson8367]

I will be searching for land in about a week, in my new state to be able to start my new homestead. I hope to one day have a processing area as nice as yours. Thank you for this video & helping others who can't grow their own healthy meat.

[@paulorzechowski8220]

Very inspiring!!

[@southfilmco.7859]

Glad it was!

[@nathanbannister6019]

Curious if they are using the cones to cut the arteries in the neck or if they are ringing the neck as it appeared the neck was intact when the chicken goes into the scalder. Excellent video! Thanks!

[@southfilmco.7859]

Thanks! They are are cutting the artery.

[@davezman2295]

Loved the video

[@everdaylifeofdd5940]

Great video. Would love to visit your farm someday.

[@southfilmco.7859]

The farm does give tours by request. Call the Shepherds Hill farm if you're interested.

[@derrick6111]

Thank you 🙏

[@kalinbankov9737]

Hello! If there are long periods of rain, for example 4-5 days, and the pasture is soaked, how do we keep the chickens from getting wet and sick while in the chicken tracktor? If we don't have a dry shed built nearby, is there a solution related to the construction of the chicken tracktor?

[@MrMountain707]

Yeah, not a good setup. They like to perch at night, and must get real cold from the wind

[@emanueldasilveira1153]

Great history

[@glenncollins294]

Where can you find organic feed in bulk? Can y’all send me a diagram of your tractors. Thanks God bless Glenn

[@southfilmco.7859]

Hi I have linked the feed in the description. For more information about the tractor plans, please email them through their website (which is linked in the description).

[@michellealmonte6595]

Hope you guys link your feed. I’ve been looking for a corn and soy free feed

[@southfilmco.7859]

Shepherds Hill Farm uses New Country Organics for there feed. I added a link in the description.

[@Valhalla1776]

Wonderful video. Side note. Really gotta start being more generous with the seasoning folks.

[@southfilmco.7859]

Thanks! Note taken😅

[@dacidadeaocampo8189]

Lugar maravilhoso.

[@joedirt5521]

But where did the chiks hatched, they ussually inject them with something, and arent they hatched from a Gmodified chiken?

[@ziauddin7948]

nice broiler chickens # We in Pakistan do not dip chicken in hot water as we remove entire skin with featgers all together # ❤️🇵🇰

[@charlesbelser7249]

If they have fresh pasture all the time , why do you have to give them all that feed? Wild birds don't get all that corn /. grain etc but eat worms, insects, some seeds that they may find and grass . Just trying to educate myself to see if this is worth it. The price of feed is obscene any more.

[@spoolsandbobbins]

They still need at least 16% protein, calcium and other nutrients grass can’t give them…

[@aaishahbong3824]

These are "meat chickens" that have been genetically modified. They dont do anything but eat, sleep, poop and eat. They dont have feathers like a normal bird and they have a 45-50 day life span. Some a little longer but at 1 point if you dont kill them they will get sick and die😢 and they have spread these things all over the world. We have them gere in senegal also. 😢

[@rangeorge85051]

kinda think that the stress chickens are put through by industrial chicken farming poisons the meat.

[@lyricsmaker6174]

So actually she didnt tell about how they feed them.

[@mateoleon524]

Dude been a farmer is a huge job for very little REWARD! thank god the government subsidies this stuff. Otherwise besides the passion of the farmers i dont see why else would you want to do it

[@alinalemanska2029]

I want the chickens to go without cages.

[@daddio7249]

And so do the hawks, raccoons, and coyotes.

[@Jesuslovesyou8525]

Is that chicken still ALIVE while you do the scalding and plucking and cutting it up?! Why don't you kill it first???

[@jbnnm657]

They kill it first of course. They don't show the kill cone part in this video I don't think.

[@southfilmco.7859]

No the chicken bleeds out in the cone. They make sure that the process is as humane as possible.

[@Jesuslovesyou8525]

@southfilmco.7859 okay good thank you for replying

[@southfilmco.7859]

@@Jesuslovesyou8525no problem! So sorry for the late reply🥴

[@cobbvd]

And how many birds can you raise like this? A few or a dozen thousand a year? It's not a business, it's just a hobby and nothing more. You just have to be happy if the neighbors don't complain that you're polluting the environment and the air. If all birds were raised like this, we would only see them on the table during the holidays. And for several times higher price than now.

[@spoolsandbobbins]

You must live in a city… this is the way forward. It’s becoming very popular again and you CAN very well make a living from it.

[@michaelmay6859]

This looks entirely scalable. Where’s the pollution?

[@cobbvd]

@@michaelmay6859 It seems, you are not European. If you ask me such things.
