Joel Salatin | Broiler Processing Demo Homesteaders of America 2019

Coming out of the 2019 vault, we decided to release this recorded lecture from the 2019 Homesteaders of America conference during this uncertain time, to help people learn how to grow their own food! One of the biggest draw backs from raising your own meat is the processing part of broiler birds. Enjoy this demo and lecture from the 2019 conference, where Joel Salatin from Polyface Farms shows you all the details, and the lifestyle, behind raising broilers.

[@Fiona2254]

@@lsophial I never thought I'd be doing this because I've always been an animal lover. I thought I'd limit miself to egg layers but I have come to despise large processing plants because of the way birds are treated like assets and not living beings. Since we moved into our ranch we have taken responsibility for feeding ourselves in a humane and natural way and adding meat birds was a natural road to take. We treat our birds right and their suffering is limited to a micro second. Most important is the fact that our animals live a good life eating bugs and grass suplemented with good feed. Enjoying the sun and wind. No hormones or unnatural things go in, a chicken living it's chicken life in a nice and clean piece of land. My grandmothers both did this and I remember a chicken being processed right before cooking it so we could eat. It's the circle of life, everything eats something else. (Typo edit)

I just watched you at a Google conference from 2011. I saw you on Justin's farm tour. Firstly, thank you for all you do. I am too old to see it but I would love to see young people get back to the farm. they would love what they raise and nurture hands on and appreciate them giving their life so others can live. They would be too busy to get into trouble and too tired to rant and rave all over tows. They would appreciate "Prayer Day" because they wouldn't have so many chores to do if they went to pray and thank their maker. GBY

[@ChickensAndGardening]

Yeah wish I'd thought of doing this 20 years ago :) Luckily, our one kid turned out pretty good -- she helps me with my raised beds, she's taken her hunters education courses, and we're going to get her out hunting this fall at age 15. Hoping to get 4-5 meat chickens next spring and get her involved. If I'd started a homestead 20 years ago, I might have had 5 kids, to help with the chores! Next life, maybe. Anyway it's inspiring to see all these folks getting into this.

[@stinkeye460]

My wife and I live in a rural part of Suffolk, Va across from the Great Dismal Swamp. We raise both layer and meat chickens and have a large garden. We don't believe in showering our grandson and nieces and nephews with expensive gifts that will be forgotten over their lifetimes. Instead we give them simple experiences that they will cherish throughout the years. While everyone gave my grandson fancy electronic toys, I spent a day carving him a wooden toy canoe like the one my father got as a boy then gave it to me. The look of wonder he gets on his face as he plays with the chickens or watches a seed he planted turn into a water melon is more meaningful than a thank you for some plastic toy he receives. The gift of a lifetime of loving memories my grandparents gave me is more cherished than anything they could have bought me. I want to give him the same. My eldest son and I are both masons and he told me I better not ever put a trowel in his hand ha ha.

This is exactly what we need to see more of, including a detailed close-up video of gutting them. I've seen literally dozens of homesteading, and off-grid video's on KZbin, and none of them want to show themselves actually processing their livestock up-close and personal. People have to realize that this is a frequent and essential part of this lifestyle, they have to become comfortable with it, and they have to know how to do it right. Thank you for this video, absolutely love Joel and appreciate learning anything/everything I can from him.

Re: inspection/regulation is about sales not safety In my farm direct sale business (ginseng), I sold direct at night markets in Vancouver, Canada. My original strategy was to give out small free samples of ginseng tea to draw customers in to my stand and to demonstrate quality. One season I decided to try selling full cups of tea. This required that I rent a food stall and get licensed by the local Health Authority. My inspection took about 30 seconds!! So if I gave it away it was safe but if I sold it there was a safety issue. lol

Sell the cup for what the cup and tea are worth .If they buy the cup for that price they get the tea to try for free in the cup.There is ALLWAYS a way.mm🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔👍throw away coffee cups.

Folks like myself new to raising chickens should also look at the Broomstick Method for dispatching birds. I had to cull 2 roosters. The first I used a hatchet which is slightly gorey as in this video. The second I used the broomstick and it is very quick on the bird.

[@go-farm]

I totally agree. Those birds didn't look like they were killed instantly like with the broomstick method, and it honours the animal to get that bit over quickly.

Back in the 1950s and 60s, my grandfather raised chickens and turkeys. Each year he would process about 130 turkeys for the Thanksgiving season. He used a similar funnel system as you do, but he would NOT cut the throat ! Instead, he would cut the throat right under the head, and continue cutting until he had separated the head from the neck. ( His cat, Topsy, got the heads ! ) The heart continued beating until the blood had drained out, and the bird was killed instantly. You might want to consider this. You mention that you want to cut the Jugular Vein. I'm sorry, but you are totally wrong. The Jugular is a VEIN. To drain the blood quickly, you must cut an ARTERY ! That would be the Carotid Artery, which is the main artery in the neck. However, if you just cut the veins and arteries, the spine is left intact, and the bird can continue to struggle and flap around, even confined to the funnel. This can result in bruises to the meat, especially to the wings and legs - this is very unsightly when you are carving the bird - you get ugly ' blood blisters ' in the meat. This is why, after cutting the head off of a chicken, you NEVER let it ' Run around like a chicken with it's head cut off ! " That can spoil your Sunday Dinner ! When you sever the head from the Turkey or Chicken, the bird dies almost instantly, the head is dead in just seconds. But, the Heart will continue to beat, pumping the blood out through the neck, until the body is completely exsanguinated. In fact, the heart continues to beat for about two minutes, and then the last of the muscles goes completely limp, and it is safe to remove the bird from the metal funnel. Since the severed neck was in the bottom of the funnel, the lowest point in the bird, when the heart is finished beating , you have completely ' bled out ' the bird, and will have a perfect, un-bruised, clean carcass, ready for plucking, gutting, and cleaning prior to freezing or cooking. The slaughter of animals of all types for meat and other products is a necessary part of farming and our omnivorous diet. That being said, it is incumbent upon every decent, reasoning person who engages in farming to take every effort of minimize the pain and suffering of the animals we kill for our own subsistence.

[@Playlist4213]

Just a thought on the soy situation -- I, personally, seek out non-soy fed chickens (They're hard to find!), but not for 'low estrogen' or popular food reasons. I actually have a severe intolerance to soy; have had it all my life. I just recently got diagnosed with Crohn's disease (which, most people know, is considered an autoimmune condition, like lupus or rheumatoid arthritis, etc). Eating good healthy stuff (Autoimmune protocol diet, for me -- so, pretty much, good healthy meat, most veggies and some fruit, and that's basically all I can really tolerate at this point), and getting enough sleep/low stress keeps it mostly at bay. Not trying to make it personal -- just, I think there are quite a few people out there trying to avoid soy for reasons other than popular hype. I can handle some 'not ok' foods for a short while and still be mostly OK. (Dairy, grains, sugar, etc), but soy will basically put me in the hospital if I eat enough of it, and at very least put me out of commission for several days. So, I think it's not just the new-agey people trying to avoid soy for health reasons, but some people who actually just can't eat chickens/eggs from soy-fed chickens, too. So, we really appreciate that more farmers are doing this! It means we can still eat these healthy pasture-raised chickens without getting sicker. :) The studies I've seen so far suggest that the isoflavones in soy accumulate in both the eggs and meat of chickens fed a diet containing soy. I don't personally know if it's isoflavones causing problems, among other things, but I know I currently can't eat any legumes without being mildly ill. Soy is in a class all it's own, though, for how sick I get, personally. Based on all that, we're just trying to be careful -- and it's nice that the option is out there to find birds raised on soy-less feed -- and even moreso ones raised like yours on pasture. Cheers!

There was once a time when our grandparents would take the chickens in the wood house chop the head off and let the bird go out the door and all the kids would run around chasing the headless chickens around till they fell and then bring them back for plucking and cleaning. Kids today have no clue of the memories of being chased by the headless chickens and the smell of the wood fire heating the cast iron caldron for scalding. There was alot of memories made and alot of work done. We use to do over a hundred birds a day by hand it was a community and family event every fall one weekend was chickens and one was pigs and one was cows. Everyone in town came together for the butchering everyone got some meat. One year a family would donate chickens the next would be pigs next would be cows we were all farmers and if the family wasn't a farmer they did pickles and canned vegetables out of garden to give for some meat. We took care of each other in our town and over time us farmers got ran out by government and and commercialization and everything became money and it all ended as the elders passed.

Watching this again as a refresher before sending ours to freezer camp on Saturday 😉 Does anyone know who Jim is? The man with the processing equipment? What is his business name?

Does anyone know what hat he's wearing? I really like it.

How do you remove the neck? I wonder how fast he could process a chicken if he wasn't talking and just concentrated. He has sooo much experience.

He said they get out a bird a minute

Richard Perkins can do the whole cutting process in about 25 seconds

Wherever you are, I wish I lived there. CA is absolute Foster Farms wasteland. People here are gonners and no one wants a resident from CA in their state. I wish I could find a place in Montana or New Mexico

What I want to know is where to get that setup! Anyone any clues? #homesteadersofamerica

[@andrewvillanueva4222]

Wow that is effective way to process chickens.

Excellent video! Thank you Joe Salatin! You answered a lot of questions and curiosities I had! Loved the jokes too!

The heads and feet added make a better stock. Any part of the chicken that has bone that I can’t sale goes into stock same as rabbits and any other animal we raise. We do However throw all those parts after stock into our compost piles

Great video but what about washing the dirt and manure on your hands before processing the bird.
