The Tough Part.

[@tammysarrazin-ux9tv]

Hemingway is a amazing looking bird and his babies will be pretty, walking different also tells the birds something is up, i hope the female turkey stays long enough to be added to the flock eating their food will clean out her gut so maybe time to think about clipping her feathers and put her in with them or quarantine her then clip and add, for a second i thought the kitty had passed on , Kathy and Jim are an amazing pair they make me think and laugh, love how Henry is running down the lane just a chattering the whole time hugsssssss

[@carlapierle8623]

Ah yes, the sound of silence broken only by contented "bawking" sounds. Glad you were able to restore peace to the bird kingdoms while adding to your freezer. Bless that wild turkey's heart. She wants some friends.

[@jillyd2807]

👏👏👏

[@sharonparker2262]

Very peaceful and quiet at the end, then you had to chase after the wildest of them all-Henry!!! That little guy can run❤❤

[@TheModernYeoman]

His motto is "Hurry, Hurry"!

[@sandracunningham2689]

Lovely shot of Henry going down the road.

[@polgarauk5606]

It definitely seemed much more peaceful after the deed was done 😂

[@evalinawarne1337]

PEACEFUL, Leaves started changing too much. Early. Hot temp. are back this week. Your property is so nice. You are very BLESSED. I read a few days ago, 90% of the U.P. was sold. Not to American families. European companies for forestery. Lumber. Even Lake Linden, Chassel Houghton areas. Broke my ❤. A friend of mine has been looking for land. Nothing. Thank you for sharing. I 100% love watching and learning from you. Love and praying for you and your loving Family. So much more relaxing for your birds and you. SE MICHIGAN 🙏 🙏🙏🙏🙏

[@whitestone4401]

What!? I had not heard of the UP sale. How can they do this to this beautiful state?

[@sianbentley1527]

The "pecking order" of roosters can be a very difficult thing. You handled it in the best possible way.

[@stephenluna7932]

I thought it was cute how as you were saying slowly slowly Henry was running down the path 😃. Glad the chicken flock is at more peace now.

[@TheModernYeoman]

There is nothing slow about that little boy, let me tell you! 😂

[@bhavens9149]

Yup Fall is Great! busy! but Great!

[@deltorres2100]

👏 👏👏👏 you get GREAT!!🐓🐓🐓🐓🐓 🐓

[@margaretbedwell3211]

I am happy to were able to get the mean roosters. Chicken and dumplings sounds really good to me. Maybe you could get a larger net for catching the next time. Thanks for sharing this task. Y'all have a Blessed day.

[@tammysarrazin-ux9tv]

best time to do it first thing before they really wake up and its more peaceful congrats on the food in the freezer hugssss

[@TheModernYeoman]

Thank you, Tammy!

[@dukeywukey3909]

“And as always, slowly, slowly”, as the little fella runs down the road 😂😂😂

[@TheModernYeoman]

Oh he's the opposite of slowly slowly lol!

[@takeitslowhomestead5218]

You did a good job. It’s not an easy task.

[@jeb3415]

We always used a wooden dowel rod with a metal bent hook shape on the end, to catch our chickens. You move in low and swoop at their legs and if the rod is long enough you don’t have to get real close. Loved listening to Henry give his vlog as the two of you walked down the drive. I think I heard him end it with Hurry Hurry as he sprinted down the driveway! 😂

[@TheModernYeoman]

Yes! That is definitely Henry's motto: "Hurry, Hurry!"

[@carolcalf2032]

So peaceful now it’s done

[@robinhatley3167]

Catch your roosters off the roost night b4 processing. Makes life easier❤❤❤

[@franceswatts4001]

Sean says that at 13:56

[@williedunn2690]

Hi Shawn great workout for you and the bird's .To many roosters spell trouble. And all little skinny birds won't to do is fly. Both are problems.

[@HandiFarmer]

Just remember regarding the wild turkey, that they can join your flock, but you can’t process her, and it’s illegal to touch her or her eggs or poults.

[@douglasgatian1401]

Yothanks!

[@xianvox22]

The look is a man with too many roosters... 😅

[@TheModernYeoman]

True!

[@Carolynfoodforest355]

Good job 😋

[@Randomnesssss]

Always love your videos!

[@diannemiller4754]

I took 5 of my American Breese to the Amish to process for me😊 i roasted two recently. Very tasty. I did have to separate the 5 American Breese roosters they were attacking each other. I too kept a rooster and two hens. I have another 11 AB that are 7 week old. They are getting along with the 3 17 week okd AB. Im excitedly waiting for the hens to start laying. Slowly I am reducing my backyard flock. I

[@VickiTay]

Another great video! Enjoyed it, Sean. 😊

[@TheModernYeoman]

Thank you!

[@reannejarvis9464]

Hey Sean, my dad used to catch his poultry with a long broom handle with a largish cup hook screwed into one end. He then caught them by their leg with the hook. Good luck. 🇦🇺🎸⚡️🤘🏾🤘🏼💋💙💙

[@TheModernYeoman]

I like this idea. May need to fashion a "rooster hook" myself!

[@charlesoberdorf8478]

Donna here, it looks to me like you forgot to tell Henry about your "Slowly, slowly" motto! :) It's always good to see peace and quiet on your property.

[@TheModernYeoman]

He is a million miles per hour!

[@jeremy1350]

"Slowly I turn, Step by Step, Inch by Inch ..." Come here you scrawny bird !!! In the words of Marie Antoinette "Off with their Heads, or was that Let Them Eat CAKE !!" Oh Yeah, Chicken and Dumplings. I make that every Thursday for dinner here. YUMMMMM !!

[@tammysarrazin-ux9tv]

i havent had chicken and dumplings since my friend moved back to the states i think im ruined for life on the way the states make it vs our Canadian kind lol hugssssss from Canada

[@jermyayala398]

Thank you

[@deltorres2100]

I thought it was better to get them while they sleep

[@TheModernYeoman]

I did that with the Bresse chickens. Unfortunately the roosters in the south barnyard sleep way up in the tree, so I had to catch them the hard way!

[@franceswatts4001]

Great video!

[@marybk882]

Sorry, I had to chuckle at your frustration trying to catch chickens. It's only funny when it's somebody else, right? I enjoy your videos. Thank you.

[@TheModernYeoman]

Haha, no apology necessary -- it was a good workout!

[@zoeshorthouse7913]

Yeay for a peaceful barnyard.

[@carolkimbell5174]

I am excited for fall also!

[@renaebettenhausen3611]

Ya gotta do what ya gotta do to have a peaceful chicken yard. As you were setting up I thought "That's a lot of work for ONE rooster.

[@lisapalmer3803]

Yea for tranquility.....still love your second hand portable sink....sweet napping kitten. How did the mosquito bait work out?

[@TheModernYeoman]

Tough to say on the mosquito front; think I'll do an update video on that soon.

[@leahharbison4932]

❤

[@VickiTay]

Thanks!

[@TheModernYeoman]

Thank you so much, this really means a lot to us! 🙏

[@johnzink3309]

Thx

[@ruthmcbride1778]

Why didn’t you catch them last night when they were perching?

[@hilarylonsdale608]

He says in the video they roost high up in the trees, so not a possibility.

[@TheModernYeoman]

As I mentioned in the video the roosters in the south barnyard sleep way up in the tree, so I had to catch them the hard way! Not fun, but it was a good workout! 😂

[@annamuldoon6644]

You need a cast net!😃

[@erinfernow1810]

Quick question, what was the reason for processing the Bresse hen instead of staying with 3 hens to the 1 rooster? My only guess is you wanted to see if there was a difference in the meat?

[@TheModernYeoman]

That's right! We still have two live Bresse hens (and one Bresse rooster) that we're keeping for breeding.

[@Flowers4Bees.Veggies4Me]

Catching those roosters didn’t look like fun. 😂

[@TheModernYeoman]

It was a good workout!

[@creinicke1000]

You need a bigger net.. casting net was a good idea too.
