Did We Raise The BEST Tasting Chickens?

Did We Raise The BEST Tasting Chickens?
Our journey into homesteading is to be as self-sustainable as possible. We did not want to keep purchasing birds from hatcheries to fill our freezer. We also did not want to discount taste. So we decided to find the best tasting chicken that is also self-sustainable.
This video will show which breed we decided on.

Just found your channel and subscribed we have had the bresse for awhile now. We have the splash variety. They do come in different colors not just the solid white. I think Homestead Heart has the black ones. We haven't butchered any yet because we are trying to build our flock numbers up ourselves. We also have buff Orpington black Australorp french black copper marans. Enjoyed your video look forward to more content.

[@TheNakidGardeners]

Yea, we knew they came in different colors. I just wanted the pure white ones. Yes the Hearts have both Black and White ones. We appreciate they feedback. Thanks for stopping by and watching.

[@jperiksen]

When you do the special feed you need to confine them more and not free range them. I visited in france the region they raise these birds, they are moved into a barn, I believe I remember them putting them on 12 hours light cycle and feeding them first thing in the morning and again mid afternoon. But the confinement together with the special feed is what causes the marbling.

[@TheNakidGardeners]

Yea we don't have the facility to do that, so we just did the ferment corn, and the meat still turned red with little marbling. How was your trip to France with experiencing that?

[@picaiso5932]

All i have ever raised is a breed called Banat Naked-neck its exepctionaly hardy and quite big , the best part is that its eazy to make it go broody and to hatch chicks while also being a great mother to them . In my region(Serbia) they are quite eazy to find but i guess it would be quite rare in the america .

[@TheNakidGardeners]

Oh wow that sounds interesting. I wonder if Murray McMurray has those in their library of chickens. Thanks for the information. We have naked neck chickens too, but had not heard of different varieties.

[@rebeccaplumlee9601]

Came to ur channel thru another bunch. I agree about the crosses. Corona really hit home how dependent ppl were on the hatcheries. I used to keep a mixed flock! Many breeds & temperaments.

[@TheNakidGardeners]

That was something we had been naturally skeptical about (reliance on hatcheries solely) coming into this lifestyle of self sustainability.... It's been a quest for us to really figure out how we're going to operate for our long haul. So happy to have you guys on our journey! Stay blessed.

[@ordinarypete]

Hey, having the dog next to the tractor as you try to capture the chicken might stress the chickens out and all that work you put in to marbleize them goes out the door instantly with their tightening and stress. Btw, I only know that by watching and learning from these channels.

[@TheNakidGardeners]

Thanks for the tips! It was a puppy of the Yellow Rose Homestead. We have no large animals besides a lazy "barn/house" cat. lol Thanks for the feedback. We truly appreciate it.

[@robertantolik2146]

I raise silver laced wyandottes because they're a good egg layer and also a large meat bird. More bang for the buck. I've recently gotten some easter eggers for additional eggs I never thought to look up the best tasting bird lol. That's pretty good. Hopefully ny birds taste good. Figured I'd wait until their egg production slows down before I eat and replace them

[@TheNakidGardeners]

That's great news. We have a barnyard mix also. Once a hen is two years old her production starts to decline. Most people use 2 yr old birds as stew meat. We plan on replacing a few of our flock around this time next year.

[@relacionsustentable2319]

awesome open and honest video, so many reasons, preferences and how to homestead, I am not in the meat chicken stage, I am getting some egg layers first and take it from there. I guess it's time for you to get a cow, that will help you with the milk cost if you are going to keep doing the feeding how you described,, very good video and keep it going

[@TheNakidGardeners]

Thank you for the feedback. We started out with eggs layers also and turkeys. We aren't sure if the fermented corn in milk is the way to go just yet. We will see here in July. Having a cow isn't beneficial for us since it is just the two of us. Now a milk goat will possibly be better. Thanks for stopping by and watching

[@colettewilber6013]

In the past we have done the Cornish Cross ,but this past year we decided to go with the American Bresse. Hearing so much about the flavor and all . Well ,we were pretty disappointed in them. I did a lot of research and try to do everything to the book. We finished them with corn and dairy (raw fresh milk from a farm). One they didn’t really have the marbling and we didn’t care for the taste or the texture. They were actually pretty tough. We went right to 16 weeks as recommended and still they were tough. A pro was they are excellent layers ! Very happy in that. But we also had a different issue none seems to mention. Several of them got dirty butts . And I was constantly washing and trimming them. I am a constantly cleaning my coop and we never have flies, mites . People are always amazed that they don’t smell poo at the farm from them. But I was raised that way in that my grandfather had a dairy farm and you never saw a dirty cow or dirty Stanton in his barn. Anyways I found out later that because this breed is so fluffy but it is pretty common for them to get dirty butts as when they poop it sticks to the fluff butts a lot and you may have to trim them or wash them often. As much as I liked the egg laying ,I couldn’t enjoy the meat. So in my opinion I wouldn’t get them again.

[@TheNakidGardeners]

Oh wow. We have never had those issues with ours. I guess since we rotational graze our animals, we didn't have to worry about mites and smelly coop areas either. We didn't do the "true French" way. But we did do the 18 weeks and did a taste test. The people tasted it compared to Cornish X, who said the flavor was better. They were even amazed at the breast, which was very moist and not dry. All I did was just Redmond RealSalt and pepper. Nothing fancy. It's not for everyone but definitely the bird for us. Thanks for your feedback.

[@agomodern]

The dominant white gene in the AmB means a half pound heavier bird. It might even need to be a bird that is double dominant for white, which isnt just about white expression, but the lack of the recessive non white trait.

[@TheNakidGardeners]

I keep hearing that. We follow them already and don't remember them talking about this. Yes we will revisit their channel and see what their thoughts on it is.

[@tanyav8775]

Perhaps not buying milk from the store and using raw milk from a local dairy farm. Store bought milk is pasteurized and that could have something to do with the lack of marbling of the meat. Raw milk has a higher fat content, it's not heated thus not detroying beneficial nutrients, and not getting man-made vitamin D added to it which the pastrizing destroyed.

[@TheNakidGardeners]

That's definitely a consideration 😊

[@dwighthires3163]

[@AdileneRamirez-so7km]

Hey guys, we really appreciate your videos. We were wondering did you guys notice after all of the 2 week milk/corn finish for the bresse made a taste difference? Or did it not make a difference without the finish?

[@TheNakidGardeners]

The taste is slightly better. IMO, it is more of the marbling and fat of the meat. You can render that fat down and use that instead of butter or oil.

[@AdileneRamirez-so7km]

Awesome thanks for letting us know!😁

[@farwoodfarm9296]

I wonder if it would be worth breed your Breast Rooster with a Red Ranger? Might make some healthy meat bird.

[@TheNakidGardeners]

That is an interesting thought. However, after tasting the American Bresse I wouldn't want to rush the flavor just for two extra weeks. Would you?

[@swen6797]

Did you isolate and lower the light for your 2 week finish ? Seems like not, since you were pulling them from the tractor.

[@TheNakidGardeners]

No we didn't do them the true French way but the meat still marbled like red meat.

[@msspgj]

my question is If you feed heritage the 'corn mash'.. would they also have marbled meat?

[@TheNakidGardeners]

We aren't sure. We are going to try these Cornish xs out though

[@BushcraftTexas]

Just a note…. Raw milk. You need that butter fat in the milk to get the finish. :)

[@TheNakidGardeners]

That is definitely preferable. We didn't have that initial option, it's still significantly better than them not being finished that way (we know the difference). Stay blessed!

Once u freeze any meat, the taste changes in my opinion! I hate frozen meat!

[@TheNakidGardeners]

Thank gawd for awesome seasoning we have. Luckily, we don't store our meat long enough for freezer burns.

Why is one of this couple black and one is white??? So odd

[@TheNakidGardeners]

Huh? What are you referring to

[@hopemorrison2367]

You are over thinking the process of animal rearing

[@TheNakidGardeners]

We will take that as a compliment, LOL....because we take what we are doing seriously. We were not raised this way and we feel it is responsible to do homework. Have a blessed day!

[@joesmith7427]

U need professional help with the milk and corn combo, u never know! I dont!!

[@TheNakidGardeners]

I think our novice help is doing well

[@ArturoHernandez-cz2ny]

Hello guys. I have also experiment with many breeds too. I don't like depending on other breeders for reasons you mentioned and many other reasons. I raised American bresse , love the bird but I wanted more. I did an a experiment like you guys did. I used two breeds, one Australorp roster and 10 American bresse hens. Just don't breed the offspring. American bresse don't need milk or any other bird for that matter. Especially water milk from the supermarket. If you want to give any bird favor, in the last week you need to confined them. Just give them plenty of chicken food. That would give them favor and lots of meat. You can't go wrong with a fat bird. Thank you for your video love your attitude

[@TheNakidGardeners]

Thank you for the feedback. Yea we didn't want to feed it store bought milk but we had to use what we had to make it do.
