Common sense says a chicken that takes 14-16 weeks to reach a small dressing weight of 3-4 lbs is expensive and not worth the trouble. I'll stick with the Cornish Cross. I run mine on pasture and grind my own feed. I get no complaints from my customers on flavor or tenderness. Thanks for.the video, you put a lot of work into it.
Home Depot you can just get the amount of feet of THHN/THWN to run wire it would have taken 5mins because no resistance really compared to that Romex also would have put spray electrical foam for wire pulling what have felt like butter. Good job though
learning to process my own chicken on a super tiny homestead I am starting.. and about to order my first run of meat chickens ever from you! super happy I found you before I ordered the Cornish Crosses. :)
As a truck driver for USPS I STRONGLY Despise that usps allows this.. if I was able I would attach a picture of the box of chicks I just had up front with me instead of in the trailer. It is EASILY over 100 degrees Fahrenheit in my trailer today. There Has been MANY TIMES that mail is accidentally left in a trailer of our yard VS going straight into facility door and chicks DO DIE! Maybe you’ve been lucky (if your not lying bc u clearly make money off the dummy’s ordering them via mail) but I Promise everybody that Many Die Regularly. Far as I’m concerned this is animal cruelty and the only reason I can imagine that usps is the only “allowed or contracted to” be able to do this is because it’s Fed Gov & ad we all know the Gov is Greedy. I encourage people NOT to order by mail and go to your local farms. I’d like to add I’m not supposed to take any animal up front, I break the rules but assume I’m the only one I know that does do this.
I've been hatching my own meat birds for 20+ years. I earn a living by selling poultry meat, NOT chicks. Chick sellers don't select to the same standard as meat sellers. At 10 weeks I make my first cull. I remove all larger roosters that don't move smoothly, have questionable feet, or have a dirty vent area. They go to market At 12 weeks, I put aside largest hens and roosters that move smoothly, have sound feet, and have clean vent area. I process the rest for market Of the birds preselected, I weigh, assess carcass structure, and determine best fleshing. The best go into a breeding pen, the rest are processed. Selection process culls over 90%, and with proper selection, such a selection rate helps preserve vigour and the quality of the culls. Yes, this is the critical detail of a meat vendor. A meat vendor is focussed on producing breeding culls that are profitable to raise and sell. We don't eat feathers, combs, and skin colour does not impact flavour. This is important to always keep in mind. While there is a benefit to a breed standard, and a benefit to using it as a guide in selections to avoid drift, it's always useful to remember which traits earn a profit and which don't.
The kingdom of the United States will be destroyed. The entire Church of Christ will be taken up to The Lord and disappear, it will happen very soon, the Christians are going to disappear. Jesus Christ will come quickly and take away all who believe in Him before the Wrath of the Lord begins. Repent, put your faith in Jesus Christ only, this is the truth, remember this message. Jhon 3:-16-18 16 For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life. 17 For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but to save the world through him. 18 Whoever believes in him is not condemned, but whoever does not believe stands condemned already because they have not believed in the name of God’s one and only Son. Mathew 24:29-31 29 “Immediately after the distress of those days “‘the sun will be darkened, and the moon will not give its light; the stars will fall from the sky, and the heavenly bodies will be shaken.’ 30 “Then will appear the sign of the Son of Man in heaven. And then all the peoples of the earth will mourn when they see the Son of Man coming on the clouds of heaven, with power and great glory. 31 And he will send his angels with a loud trumpet call, and they will gather his elect from the four winds, from one end of the heavens to the other. This is certain and will happen at any time. But those who have not received Jesus Christ nor repented of their sins will remain on earth and will receive each and every one of the plagues that our Eternal Father has prepared for this moment. There will be 7 years of Wrath on the earth, resist until the end, put your faith in Jesus Christ and you will save your soul. Revelation 13:16-17 16 And he causeth all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and bond, to receive a mark in their right hand or in their foreheads, 17 that no man might buy or sell, save he that had the mark or the name of the beast or the number of his name. Revelation14:9-10 9 And the third angel followed them, saying with a loud voice, “If any man worship the beast and his image, and receive his mark in his forehead or in his hand, 10 the same shall drink of the wine of the wrath of God, which is poured out unmixed into the cup of His indignation; and he shall be tormented with fire and brimstone in the presence of the holy angels and in the presence of the Lamb. Do NOT take the mark of the beast , there is no coming back from it. 2Tessalonians 2:7-12 7 For the secret power of lawlessness is already at work; but the one who now holds it back will continue to do so till he is taken out of the way. 8 And then the lawless one will be revealed, whom the Lord Jesus will overthrow with the breath of his mouth and destroy by the splendor of his coming. 9 The coming of the lawless one will be in accordance with how Satan works. He will use all sorts of displays of power through signs and wonders that serve the lie, 10 and all the ways that wickedness deceives those who are perishing. They perish because they refused to love the truth and so be saved. 11 For this reason God sends them a powerful delusion so that they will believe the lie 12 and so that all will be condemned who have not believed the truth but have delighted in wickedness. DO NOT BELIEVE ON THOSE THINGS YOU SEE ON TV AND THOSE (UFO 🛸 objects), THOSE THINGS ARE PART OF THE GREAT DELUSION, DO NOT BELIEVE ON WHAT THEY COME UP WITH SAYING ABOUT IT. PUT YOUR FAITH AND TRUST IN JESUS CHRIST ONLY, THE CHURCH IS ABOUT TO GO HOME AND WHOEVER TELLS THE LIE WILL MOST LIKELY BLAME THOSE THINGS FOR OUR DISAPPEARANCE. I have warned you ahead of time. BE READY! May our Heavenly Father GOD keep you and your family safe, in Jesus' name. Amen.
It is very impressive watching you working with the cows as the boys learn and soak up your daily routine and care for the cows. Thanks for sharing your video.
What are you dinking, look at your eyes Need ocean plants to hybrid with fresh water and grass to be watered with ocean water Send ocean water through dry rivers with a separate sewage pipeline and your rivers and swimming pool will have ocean fish, use a steam distiller for disinfected salt free drinking water and your planet will make it, I know Put salt on your roads, plant ocean grass and one fire won't burn down a California neighborhood Get generic engineers to work on hybriding ocean root structures with fresh water plants for the future of farming Send your lawnmower clippings fresh with $3,200 tax refunds to feed 3x more cattle, 3x more milk, cheese, ice cream and cheesecake, maybe people full time will be riding around in air conditioned tinted window xfm lawnmower, others can work 4 day work weeks and get paid to mow their lawn once a week. Cows go into a building with plastic strip doors, out of a refrigeration coolerfresh shredded has sprayed with water comes out on 4' high conveyors to feed the cattle. After 20 minutes is hours back in another 6" below it comes out, stays cool and fresh, cows are cooler inside, eat more, fans on, no flies on them, they get bigger quicker, they get a small bowl of ice cream at the end, enjoy their life and make you the best milk, the happiest cows. Before they get arthritis they get a sick with some fentynal and go to sleep, then it's an hour before a freezing. They're still conscious for up to that. Take a 60B insist to 180 Billion. You throw it away and pay to pick it up and dump it away year. You throw away 3x your cattle potential every year. And you're going hungry and need a war for your kids? Crazy You wait all year for a corn crop yet mow the United States every week and instead pay to pick it up and throw it away Maybe the river waste water can go into the desert instead of the Gulf One day they can make a storage sealed waste line in the river and everyone is off toilet to tap
Your eyes show liver and kidney... On a different thing, A bull will become 2,000 pounds from eating grass. If you can make it naturally edibl we to humans theory a natural bio process you can feed the world grass smoothies.
Really admirable the way you and the boys converse while working. They are learning so much from you about the farm but most importantly about father and son trust and relationships. I suppose when the "dry" cows come into season and they are bred, they will move in with the others? Thanks for another great video....I always learn so much from you all! Congrats on the new calf too!
Happy fourth of July bud,here in lower Texas ,there was no one popping fireworks,first time in 30 yrs ,that maybe one kid used a couple of roman candles and that was it.Very quite 4th in my part of town.
My 25 American Bresse from Recreational Homestead are the very best chickens I have ever had. They are growing faster than I ever imagined and the quality of each bird supersedes any meat bird or dual purpose bird ever. RH offers a great product, no doubt about it. Thank you again....my birds are 8 weeks old now and I am enjoying them so very much. Funny when the young roosters try to crow at this age....
My 11 American Breese chickens 2 hens and 9 roosters are now 11 weeks old. I'm excited to raise more as my hens start laying. The flock come running when they see me outdoors. 😊❤such a joy to raising them. Thanks so much for sharing your video.
I have a well over due meat bird that my wife refuses to let me butcher. Any negative effects being over 10lbs? Not for sale just personal. Wondering on meat quality mostly
The volume is all over the place. Goes from normal to screaming to barely being able to hear anything. I have my speakers almost all the way up in the quite parts. I can't watch/listen to the rest.
