The LAST Pastured Poultry Processing Video You’ll Ever Need!

[@paulbrown3056]

Thank you for the great video! It is probably the best video that I’ve seen on processing. I appreciate the care that you take in doing this difficult job. My wife, a business partner, and I are just getting started on a pasture raised poultry operation on the island of Maui in Hawaii and your video will be a big help. We’ve been processing our own birds for our family and definitely aren’t as skilled as your team and have been using some strategies that definitely aren’t as good as yours. Best of luck with your farm! Paul @ West Maui Pastures.

I wish you lived closer. I live outside Kinston NC. Your Wife is a good hard working Lady. She just knows what she is doing and she is a good Teacher.

[@DavidSunshineAquaWash]

Nice job! Sandra explained perfectly and Chuck did a good job too. 😂

[@SheratonParkFarms]

😆😆 I’m trying. She’s a tough act to follow.

[@tracymessineo4738]

Sandra did a great job in explaining how to dissect a chicken. My grandmother's always use the chicken feet for broth.

[@karenhudson6340]

I like your PVC pipe draining/drying rack! When we replaced our dishwasher, I kept the racks to do that. It works well, but yours is surely better!

[@Sue-ec6un]

Thanks, Sandra, for that thorough demonstration! It's good to know how to handle it without the strength and size of man hands...

[@SheratonParkFarms]

Thanks for watching!!

[@marscrow]

The Florida Poultry Shrink Bag website says to dip the bagged bird for 3-5 seconds in 190° - 205° water. Your dip water is 180° you said in the video. What is the reason you dip in cooler water? Absolutely great processing video, from (almost) start to finish. Clear, concise, great tips. I'll be checking out for your dispatch video, too. Thank you for all you do to educate us in the very best way.

[@SheratonParkFarms]

My pot is hard to regulate. We can make 180 work but if rather have it closer to 190. When we go for 190 the water ends up boiling.

[@dmark6699]

Chickens bagged up Looks better than store bought.

Thanks!

[@leslievanderpool5115]

Great detail. Loved this video. Will have to watch it again before processing my own!! Thank you

[@andyprivett2699]

Always good to have a Saundra video

[@KPVFarmer]

Thanks for sharing all of this great info. I grew up processing but I only remember certain parts and wasn’t taught the “why” or all of the tricks.

[@mommytime]

What a wonderful video. Thanks for the practical info.

Awesome video, man I wish me and my could fly out just to help one time. Be a great learning experience

I also use the florida poultry bags. Great bags.

We really like them!!

I would love a video on getting usda certified. What has to be done and how all of that works.

[@SheratonParkFarms]

That’s outside my area of expertise. We are inspected by the state dept of agriculture and not the USDA. Sorry I can’t help.

[@brianacker1027]

@@SheratonParkFarmscould we get information on that? We are new to the farming world and trying to figure out how to sell chicken and sheep meat safely and legally

[@paulbrown3056]

Hi Brian Acker!!! Been thinking of you guys as we start our pasture poultry operation. Could use your knife skills on processing day.

[@AbundanceFarmandApiary]

Great video, thank you!!! I am wondering which scalder you use? Also, your plucker is a million times quieter than mine! I have the largest one from Strombergs.

[@growjoyfarmfamily]

Great video! Could you share where you get your labels from?

Great Info.❤

Great information video on how to dressing chicken 🇳🇿🙏🏼

Thanks!

[@Jordan-rc7hl]

Do you have a video discussing the specific equipment you use? Like model and such and why you prefer that over others? My wife and I will be raising meat birds next year and are looking at equipment to start saving for. We like the motto "Buy nice or buy twice" so figured we'd ask from someone who has a well put together setup.

[@SheratonParkFarms]

This is probably the closest thing. We started out with Featherman equipment. It is good stuff and works great on a homestead or small commercial scale. The equipment in the video is Poultryman. Great equipment for commercial scale. More expensive but well worth it. We Drove OVER 1000 Miles For Our Chickens! kzbin.info/www/bejne/mnS5i62Olt56p80

[@haorlandini]

You guys do a fantastic job, I’ve learned so much! Quick question, how many weeks are this particular patch of birds? Our last batch we ran 9 weeks, and the birds were too big to sell whole. It seems that 7 to 8 weeks is the sweet spot for the Cornish cross. Thanks!

[@SheratonParkFarms]

These are around 8-9. Don’t remember exactly.

Sometimes. They are a bit fussy to clean.

I find KZbin very prejudiced they don't allow you to put stuff on but they're allowed to put dirty commercials on youtube people's videos like who wants to look and watch an advertisement that shows people how to get their you know what bigger and harder come on now youtube that's disgusting and they took one of my videos down because of two roosters we're doing as you know the pecking order and they took it off my channel

[@qdtsg8]

HIMS got ya, huh? I think they can ban certain ones but it’ll affect how much they make. I always let the commercials run but mute them. But I also usually watch on my tv so it’s easy.

[@PoorMansHomesteadCanadaBC1961]

@@qdtsg8 Yes I always skip them but it just makes me sick that they can advertise stuff like that

[@Sue-ec6un]

get an ad blocker, I use Ad Blocker Ultimate...KZbin ever once in a while 'sees' it and tells me I can't watch with ad blocker on, but usually Ad blocker updates the next day! I hate all the dirty, misleading, downright criminal ads on the entire Googlechan platforms...and I won't even talk about the few I see when I happen to see someone's TV on...like...THAT DIDN'T USED TO BE ALLOWED ON TV! I got rid of my TV 10 years ago...my life is so much better!

[@wildsoldier1]

Where did you get your evisceration tables

[@SheratonParkFarms]

They were government surplus. Got them at an auction.

Did you have to customize them at all or did they come just like that

No, it just gets foamy as your scalding the birds.

[@smartfarms2002]

Hey Guys! I fed birds like this earlier this year. Lots of exercise and running around. The legs and thighs have a lot more bite than I was expecting. Not what you’re expecting when biting into a thigh. Still juicy and delicious, but a few customers have commented on that. Any thoughts?

[@SheratonParkFarms]

We’ve tried a few of them ourselves and think they have great taste and flavor. No comments from customers yet.

I don't care to eat Turkey but that's one thing I did like on the Turkey was the Turkey neck so I'm adding the chicken neck taste just as good I'm a dark meat person and for some reason I don't like Turkey I like turkey soup don't mind a turkey sandwich with dark meat I raise six turkeys gave them away to family still got to a big Tom and one hen she's not much good she don't lay often I used to have two hens but the one hen was sitting on eggs too close to the fence and got killed by something probably a mink oh cleaned out that area so they can't sit there no more and it's pretty hard when you have chickens and turkeys together because the chickens will eat the turkey egg so you got to get out there fast to get any and she don't like her own man on top of her much well the only reason I keep my turkeys because my Tom protects my chickens was having ego attacks and that Tom was going after the eagle even though the ego was just about as big as him if not bigger and my Tom's a big Tom have ropes all over my yard to stop eagle attacks but This Eagles sat out there for a week every morning finally got a chicken on top of it I went out there and yelled at it and it finally left but it came back and I found out how well it was getting around the ropes it was sitting on my 5th wheel and coming down from there and was it ever big beautiful eagle you're only 15 feet away from them they're big don't mind it taking a chicken but it has to take the right chicken for some reason I keep losing Bard rocks only got two left out of 6
