How many Chickens do you need to raise for your family

[@gregs-gran2002]

❤️❤️❤️ When you said “I’ll pay you in chicken” it reminded me that just today my husband came home from working (self employed welder/fabricator & mechanic) and told me he bought a truck by bartering his work hours. In these strange economic times being able to barter is a blessing. ❤️❤️❤️

[@radmilamiljanic5977]

Jason, the way things are moving lately, it is much better to have food in your home than money in the bank, happy that you had a good chicken "harvest"!

[@farmingwithnk4386]

When Jason caught the BlackBerry in his mouth and smiled like a kid, that was a beautiful moment.

[@MNTNSTARZ80.]

😅 can tell you grew up in the city. Those of us born and/or raised in the country would be wading into the center of the blackberry patch and not stopping until all the ripe ones were picked. I can remember going out every day with my sisters, each carrying a couple 5 gallon buckets. We'd go to a different patch each day. On great days we picked 7 buckets full on other days 2. After we ate fresh made into cobbler, pie, stewed with dumplings, we froze, canned jam or the berries my parents either gave away or bartered the rest

[@kebergify]

I love to pick blackberries and raspberries! They are such a blessing to have on your land. So nice to have a good patch.

[@terryhenderson424]

Thank you for giving a rational, basic math formula towards figuring out how many meat chickens one needs towards being self-sufficiant with thier chicken production; also the labeling and rotation concepts.

[@wendyhall8834]

Thanks for sharing the weights of the meat birds! It must ve so satisfying to know you and your family grew those big meaty birds on your new farm, using sustainable practices!

[@wildhopehomestead1716]

Nice catch! I thought Penelope was going to overarm the blackberry into your face for a sec. 😂 That would have been more amusing for us but less amusing for you. 😉 Great job with the chickens!

[@batpherlangkharkrang7976]

Hi.... Jason and Lorraine and Penelope nice to see you all love watching your videos, thank you for showing your video homestead chickens farmer garden 👋 bye 👋 bye 👋 bye 👋 👕🐔🐓🐣🐥🐕🐖🌱🌺🌹🌻🌼🌸🌷🏡🎥👍👍👍

[@curiouscat3384]

That was a happy video! Jason is your eczema completely resolved? I dunno about that high carb dessert there - but I guess once a year is okay :) You all seem so happy since you moved - the rain forest, the blackberry gifts from heaven, that's the life!

[@Yosef_Morrison]

Most people's eczema will go away if they just stop eating gluten. Mine did and I was ate up with it in my scalp and beard for years till I found the secret to getting rid of it.

[@debbielamb2432]

Hope we get a garden tour soon love to you all and happy fathers day jason that blackberry pie looked scrumptious

[@miguelruizm]

My favorite part of the video was when you caught the blackberry in your mouth! Just put a huge smile on my face

[@echo1020lukka]

Yes, start learning the skill of bartering now while you don't really have need of it. My husband today bartered his A/C repair skills for local maple syrup. A sweet trade!

[@idahohoosier8989]

So happy y'all left Imoralafornia. I was there 36 yrs. Love my new state, home, God loving foljs, conservative folks.. Never seen happier people. Y'all are both sweet as can be. Great catch! I could almost smell and taste that cobbler! Blessings, julie

[@carolcurley7840]

Glad to see you looking so good Jason. You look so well 👍

[@jaredspaulding9977]

One of my favorite videos!!!

[@SowtheLand]

Glad you liked it!!

[@inannashu689]

There's nothing more important than sharing knowledge and teaching people to be self sufficient. I grew up on a farm so I've always known the importance of it.I'm amazed at how many people have never known how to do these things,so thank you and your family for teaching others.

[@StoneKathryn]

Looks like a nice harvest of chickens. I'm getting my meat chicks this morning. I'm just raising 24 and sharing them with my trucker neighbors. Yum, blackberry pie! Good job catching the blackberry with your mouth Jason. Penelope threw that perfect! Happy Father's Day Jason! Thanks for this Jason and family.

[@dorriwaldera3081]

when my kids were little, we would roam the nearby county forest and pick buckets of blackberries! So good, but yes, scratched us up bad unless we wore long sleeves, which didn't happen often since it was so warm out! Enjoy! The cobbler looks amazing!

[@orchidlife9482]

Happy Father’s Day! And to your father-in-law as well! Your girls are good to you! Wonderful meat harvest!

[@guntaweiland3428]

I so enjoy your simple life. I’m 78, so guess in my next life --. I DO have a small garden though.

[@paulat5921]

It is lovely to see you all working together as a family. Way to go!

[@ajc7295]

Yum, those black berries looked so nice 😋

[@gaylewatkins4685]

Will be awesome when you have a big orchard of berries and fruit trees. Everything growing food. 👏👏

[@lvs6775]

That goose looking for it's pals was so cute!

[@ashleylovepace1941]

so cute when you caught the berry in your mouth. so sweet

[@missourigirl4101]

Blackberry crumble looks wonderful. You did what I would have done by mowing sections so you can reach blackberries. Can blackberry jam and freeze blackberries for winter Baking

[@russellhayes407]

Happy Father's Day. Penelopy needs to be a softball pitcher. LOL

[@belieftransformation]

Great results with your chicken harvest! Thanks for sharing! Yummy looking blackberry cobbler🤗❤️🇨🇦

[@rodmackinnon8497]

Such a great video . . . I often wonder where blackberries come from, they just seem to spring up one day, mostly in land that has been disturbed. Cheers.

[@johnbettiebishop6673]

Jason those black cherries make wonderful jelly you are so lucky to have them on your land

[@deborahkelley4719]

Nice size birds, when I was a child my foster mother and foster father processed chicken's. Lots of feather's lol. Great job guys!

[@jasonhatfield4747]

Just did 16 cornish cross today with a friend. This was only my 2nd time processing and it was a bit exhausting. But, now that we're done and the birds are in bags, I'm feeling good about it. We are finishing up the other 7 later this week.

[@mimicolvin3200]

Your chicken harvest was awesome. They were some big chickens. I would love to be able to raise chickens again since I am older. The blackberry patch is nice. Please be cautious of snakes , they love berry bushes. Nothing like a fresh blackberry cobbler, yummy. Thanks for sharing. Be safe. Love to watch you guys on your homestead journey.

[@stephaniedavis7033]

i always forget the bucket too, so I just eat what I pick! blessings n sunshine always!

[@josephhall2858]

That cobbler looked so good!

[@Dh77777]

Blackberry jelly is the best!!! What a blessing!!!

[@pattyprice2644]

Happy Fathers Day Jason What wonderful blessing you received

[@brenda9140]

⚘Great video , guys, very great video. When my mom wasen't beating us up, we were picking berries. Best times in my life!

[@takeitslowhomestead5218]

Thanks for another great video. I planted black berries for the first time and am looking forward to the first pie, hopefully by next summer.

[@mikac3123]

Nice seeing the freezer filled with your hard work

[@dorisgreenberg2811]

In Minnesota we call them choke cherries, THESE CHOKE CHERRIES ARE A DRY BITTER BERRY BUT GREAT IN JELLY!

[@heatherk8931]

Way late, but Happy Fathers day Jason. I knew those were berry vines! Yea!! BlackBerry cobbler, jam, tarts, over yogurt, ice cream, etc. I love how Penelope toss and you caught the berry! Great deal on the meat birds. Question: do you clip wings on the free range chickens?

[@mishalea]

Yum, blackberries, my fave! Nice catch! And throw!👍👌😁

[@denisebrady6858]

What a Great video I LOVED it. You are an amazing Family. Cheers Denise- Australia

[@robertrhodes9123]

A win win on the chickens. 👍👍 Wild berries are also a big plus. Do you know how Art & Bri are doing. Haven't been a video in a long time ?

[@kathleenthomasson5485]

I signed up for the clinic at Grass Grazed! Wow! I will get to meet you!

[@denisscott3073]

[@rustytrow12]

Man you are going to get us to move to NC! We’re in west Texas, basically as dry as Cali!

[@leahr.2620]

So many things to do with all those blackberries, jam, pies, juice and jellies, oh and wine👍👍

[@camus6208]

Is there a Farmers Market in your “ neck of the woods “ where you could sell some of your chickens and turkeys eventually? Could you sell some of your berries too. All organic as I understand…

[@karinjudge7277]

I love your channel Jason. You guys rock :)

[@Wildevis]

Darn that cobbler looks so good!!

[@diannemiller4754]

I have strawberry fingers. Two flats of strawberries. One for freezer and the other for eating and jam. Just put the jam in the canner. Father's day is the week which starts strawberry season here in Michigan. We will be getting 26 meat chickens and 15 chick's to replace laying hens. My mighty 15 are giving us anywhere between 5 to 8 eggs daily.

[@jillyd2807]

You caught it…..FIRST TIME!!! 😲 😂😂😂

[@eugenewilkerson1307]

Beautiful free harvest, nice chickens.

[@lindal5303]

How could life be any better!!🥰🥰

[@coreyburnell77]

Your tools are an investment great video great information

[@anneb726]

The little black berries are what we in Canada call choke cherries and they make wonderful pancake and waffle syrup or even over ice cream you should try it

[@pamelacrowell2007]

Omg! My dad wanted chickens no more than 3 pounds cause he thought they were too tough!!!

[@salba90]

i like that the prosciutto is in the shot!

[@PatrickPoet]

I liked the wiggly red stained finger shot:) It felt like Summer

[@CherylLynnEdmond]

Love you guys! So inspiring!

[@idahohoosier8989]

Triple B Best Batch if Birds. I like it. Blessings, julie

[@harrytustin5260]

Black Cherries make awesome jelly. I lay an old sheet on the ground under tree and shake limbs, then dump sheet in a bucket. You have to beat the birds they can strip a tree in a couple days.

[@annar6430]

Love,love your new journey Lorraine and Jason❤ Curious, if you barter a Chicken for different poultry..what is your next favorite bird ?? I love crisping up the seasoned pieces of chicken fat..to nibble. Your birds are happy.

[@plurmingo1]

Where did you get the baskets from, the ones that you have the blackberries in. I also saw these baskets on the holler Homestead channel.

[@tracyboyd4867]

Happy fathers Day jason...Bernice!!!

[@1catlover2]

I think her throw is called a lob. Nice catch 👌.

[@larryhattrup5756]

Your videos are very entertaining and interesting with your new farm.

[@janetwithers7427]

Great video. The blackberry cobbler looks so yummy. 💞

[@kolajohnson1351]

We call them choke cherries....they make THE BEST jelly!

[@jeffmay6418]

Need to make blackberry syrup. It is wonderful on pancakes,waffles,toast.

[@bristolveggiebeds5310]

I've been picking soft fruit too!

[@janicew6222]

Your chickens look amazing, We love fried chicken livers, we have them often. What kind of Geese did you get?

[@richardroyles1423]

Oh yeah looks delicious. Good catch. God bless

[@anitadodson4316]

Love, love, love this VLOG ❤️❤️❤️

[@fionagrows1848]

I wish you were coming to the original (and best!😉) Durham in the north east of England!

[@patsymessier]

Just curious...can you tell us what app you used for plant identification? I've been searching recently. Thanks!!! Enjoy your channel so much.

[@charlesvaughn5055]

enjoyed the video love blackberry jam and pie

[@claudettehernandez3402]

I agree about buying better. Buy a Deere at a hardware store or buy from a Deere dealer. Our last Deere was purchased when the yr our son was born. It went to our son when we got our next one.

[@SwanseaTitanFan]

Jason, got any wild Turkey on the farm? Fall season is coming up fast.

[@AdamCraigOutdoors]

Just picked up my birds from the butcher. They were 4lbs average and i was kind of bummed out by the low weight. But i'm happier after some research because it looks like i wasn't far off. Another 1lbs more would have been nice.

[@bobbybaldeagle702]

I personally have to wear latex type gloves when picking any type of berries, or else my hands will swell and break out with small blisters. I'm highly allergic to the leaves and other weeds that grow around the bushes. Same goes with most outdoor plants. There's even some grasses that I breakout from. So when doing any yard work I'll be the one wearing gloves. But some how I still end up with dirty hand and dirt under my finger nails!!! LOL... Good seeing y'all picking berries as a family, around here my wife tells me go get whatever she wants and me being a smart man I go get.... LOL.... But there was one time many years back she told me to stop bugging her and to go get lost. Well I failed her I tried and tried for hours even days now even all these years latter I never could find lost to bring it to her... So sad I failed her sad, sad, sad... I still remember when I told her that I couldn't find lost, she got so mad at me the she just sadly shook her head and turned around and walked away form me and never said another word about it... Much love and prayers, you kids all be blessed in Jesus name... BBE...

[@lindajoe9862]

Yummy BlackBerry crisp...... you have blueberries like we do in Washington state🥰🎉

[@rodneydlamini7364]

Hi Jason, I enjoy all your videos and the w/shops you do. Iam not to particularly sure it is safe to keep so many chicken too long in the freezer though. I am not a doctor but I heard that chicken kept for too long can be poisonous.

[@terricotter6545]

great catch

[@zeldalefay]

Looking forward to seeing you in Durham uk

[@cynthiaarmstronghopefulhom9672]

Your black berries lucked juicy and delicious. I'm sure the cobbler was just as wonderful. Yum!

[@clipsfromcherie]

We love blackberries too ❤

[@lccastillo67]

Those are some nice birds

[@JaimeDrewatWoodenU]

We live in the Central Valley of California and my brother moved to South Carolina. One of the first things his kids asked were do we live in a rainforest now? Lol

[@IkonicLionProductions]

Wonderful. Happy fathers day.

[@wendyecrain9253]

In my family we eat a chicken a year, and that is my roommate. I don't eat chicken. Love and hugs

[@janethamil9337]

Those wild blackberries are sooo good in a lush year. I can't pick anymore from our farm because of the poison ivy, I am very allergic to it. A blackberry pie would cost me probably a good $100 because of the doctors visit. Hmm.

[@jrsf222]

Beautiful family.

[@cindyfinn4845]

They look awesome and I cant raise them but I think if I could get my community on board maybe and if city would allow it.

[@derkhedemann5606]

thanks for another great youtube video

[@ilzitek2419]

Thank you.

[@williedunn2690]

If you ever cut those black or wild cherry . Get them out of pasture on the spot. If they wilt and cows eat them it can kill them.
