Feed Your Chickens EVERYTHING 

Anyone who thinks chickens are vegetarian has never seen a whole flock play tug of war with a live mouse

My chickens and turkeys run with the goats in their yard and return to the coop in the evening where we lock them up for the night. I think just having the goats helps with predators. We see hawks but in 3 years haven’t had a single bird taken. Ours love love love meat scraps, but we’ve never had that much scrap. Thank you for this video! Many Blessings to you all!!

New sub here. You had me at "...we had bull poop at the bottom, otherwise known as Washington DC." 👍🇺🇸🚜

I never thought about throwing my butchering scraps out to my chickens. We just always drove and dumped out to the edge of our pasture/woods away from the house. Our dogs always seem to find some deer bones and hide and bring it back to the house though. I do have a lazy man compost area that my free range chickens have easy access to but you sure have me considering changing some things up around here to make it even better! Thank you!

Excellent feast! A lot of people don't realize how important meat protein is for chickens. That's gonna be some incredible compost. Not to mention very healthy and happy birds.

Cmon William,,give the ol man a hug !!

I had a butchered deer in the back end of my yard and I kept trying to keep the chickens away until I found out that it was perfectly fine.

THUMBS UP 👍 ITS FREE!! DONT BE LAZY PEOPLE

LOL my facial response was "ewww" yet I have heard that this is good. I call our chickens little dinosaur vultures when they come out first thing in the AM. I only have 4 so you can imagine my giggles. Keep up the great work. Blessings all.

I put my meat scraps in the middle of a Berkeley pile. Bones and everything get broken down. Amazing!

When I go fishing and catch something I throw the guts and carcass to the chickens. It turns into a feeding frenzy lol. Reminds me of a bunch of piranhas.

Oh wow. This is amazing. I never came across this idea before. And while i was searching for chicken feed ideas on youtube, bam, the boss came in to the rescue with an awesome idea. Noice. 🔥

Spending summers on my Grandparents farm and noticing that the chicken pens were always bare, nothing grew in them because the chickens ate everything. Thanks for sharing the video.

Thank you

"Also known as Washington D.C" 😂😂😂

I don't know about you but to me it looks like there was enough pig remains for two chicken tractors. Thanks for sharing this little video. Your right it is nice to see William in the video every now and again haha. May you and yours including all of the animals have a good one. Have fun take care

Okay, you've earned my sub after I came across your channel recently. This is huge info for me. Please be honest with results, such as whether or not any birds get sour crop and predators. I've been steadily working toward same goal. My flock gets tidbits while I process but I've never dumped the bucket into compost pile because it's not tall enough, so my flock spreads it out within a day. I have to cover to let it cook for awhile then allow them to access. Also, I've heavy predators around. Right on, cheers!

I year later and your son is making his own videos!! 🎥

As a carnivore I fully support feeding chickens an all animal diet!😊

People who raise a pig would not want to waste a bit of it

Your place is looking great. All (everyone’s) your hard work is really showing. Thanks for sharing.

Great video. Thanks! Good topic.

My comfrey is just now coming up,I'm excited thank you

Washington DC, perfect name.

Heck yes loved the video! Thanks Billy. Scotty

That's what I'm talking about! Those birds will look like the Hulk when they finish that. We just cleaned some old food from the freezer and I did the same thing, happy chickens!!

Everything to the chickens, except chicken and everything to the pigs, but pig. That’s how it is! Those little velociraptors are true compost factories.

Your channel is very informative

Supposedly chickens are the closest relative to tyrannosaurus Rex.

I just found you from the guy give the Rooster to Yhoo.

Good stuff there!

Ive seen people bury scraps from processing at the edge of tree root zones with great results for tree health.

you have beautiful family brother, blessing to y'all

Awesome info my friend. Those chickens ain’t wasting no time gettin after that pig lol Great video! Loved Williams response COME ON DAD! Lol 😂 👍🏻 Thanks for sharing y’all

You can freeze the butchering leftovers in individual bags and feed the dogs with it.

Interesting!!!

Today, you can say, " My FOOD is eating KETO!!"

GOT IT BROTHER THANKYOU

Oh gawd I never process the bun buns without setting up the compost first. Not criticizing, you mention you do this. I have those carbs ready to dump as soon as the carcasses arrive. And I learned the hard way, never let them sit. ever. Whew. Hats off to ya guys! This is all a matter of abundance. A great problem to have.

Mini velociraptors eat anything!

Out of curiosity, what breed of chickens do you have there? Thanks for all that information!!!!!

Hi Billy and son🖐🏾😁Here to see how your chickens are doing. Let’s go.

YOU CAN MAKE YOU SOME BLOOD BOUDIN. SEEN A SHOW ON TV OUT OF VILLE PLATTE LA. THEY USED EVERY PART OF THE PIG. DIDNT KNOW CHICKENS WOULD EAT THAT.

Yeah they sure know how to take care of business! Hey gave y’all a shout out thru Justin!

love your channel. trying to compost myself. where did your son go??. I can relate, my 18 yrs old son thinks I'm crazy when I save all the scraps and out there flipping compost pile....

I would put just about anything in with the chickens. They will eat what they know is ok and leave the rest. I have some pretty damn good compost.

Hi Giys Those Chickens get through everything. Bless them x I am new to your Vlog. i drink Earl Grey Tea x

You mention you are going to cover with carbon. What exactly will you be using? Thanks in advance!

That's why they are called yard buzzards

Your own personal flock of vultures 😂

It’s sooo dope to see them chickens eating all that food scraps

👍🤩😍Your son is definitely your clone. 🤔That seems like A LOT of left over waste that could have been used for human consumption after you processed that pig. There are people in other countries that would have used more parts of the animal for human food. My dad used to have big pots of animals heads, feet, eyeballs, brains and other parts boiling for hours (either outdoor fires and/or on the stove indoors) that he’d make soups and meals from. That’s how he was raised. I was always skeptical of what all was in those pots. 😂 👍Oh well, it’s okay…..it’s your pig and your choice on how to process it….the chickens will eat it and you’ll have good compost. 👍Good info though. Thank you. 🙏💝

We do the same the chickens will eat anything. Lol come on William don't be bashful. For real though Billy if you would put William in front of the camera more you would be adding a whole bunch of young ladies to the subscription numbers lol. Start putting him on the thumb nail photo. Keep up the good work and God bless you all

Lil bro. You got a great dad! Embrace it😊

Kid, one day you'll watch this video back and it will break your heart that you missed a hug...

They really are raptors, aren't they. :)

Do you have a video/tutorial on how you made the compost ring?

First vid! Love your passion! Your son could use a dose haha! Thanks for having me

Good Morning, can I use coastal Bermuda hay in my chicken coop that's been sprayed for weeds and fertilized? I'm trying to figure out water to put down on the ground to help obsorb the moisture during the winter. The coop is covered

The wire on your covered compost pile looks like it has bigger spaces than hardware cloth. What is it called please? Found it on a previous video ..."1 inch hardware cloth".....guess my freebie cloth must be 1/4 inch - use in a 3 foot tall portable compost pile in the garden. Thank you....

Ugh soooo gross lol. Yes I've done it doesn't make it less gross😊

What about first fermenting it in Bokashi then feed it to the chickens. Apparently no smells, and it will decompose a lot faster after the chickens have had their taste.

In some states of Australia it’s illegal to feed meat or dairy to chickens because of disease.

Nice intro, b-role? Anyways, next level on your compost game, God Bless.

Good stuff as always, but that pig carcass had to be very ripe. I think I could smell it through my computer monitor! Nonetheless, here's one for you to think about. I live in a rural HOA in southern VT, which HAD a lackadaisical Board; we could do pretty much anything, even if doing it was against the governing documents, such as raising fowl (strange word, fowl)... until recently. Now, we have an "experienced" HOA-dweller at the head of the Board; she's from the city and she pokes and prods. Yup, she's one of them. My question(s) to you is: 1) how do I prove that I need 30 chickens as companion animals; 2) how do I run her off; 3) how do I defend myself and my family's right to provide our own food on our land? To note, I live on a dead-end road with three houses and yurt (4-lots). Each lot is surrounded by trees, and the lot sizes are ~5 acres. Appreciations in advance.

We get rats now . . . what do we do about that???

do you have any problems with vultures?

That's great. I never realized they would eat something like that. We have a groundhog problem here so now I know what I can do with the carcasses once I get chickens set up. Is there anything at all that should never be fed to chickens?

Remind me of a bunch of vultures.

They eat anything you throw at them

Love my chickens and we feed them just about all table scraps… wish my bees were as easy for me understand- looks like we lost 1 of 2 hives in the last couple days. No evidence of where they went….

Little dinosaurs will eat anything and everything smaller than them! If you infuse that area with black soldier fly, they will feed the birds and process that visera quick while making the best soil.

Chickens love meat scapes

I cook my chicken scraps from our meat birds and give to the hogs.

Uggh, I am not squeamish, but I should not have watched this while eating dinner! lol

Here for Research purposes

Did you say Canning, or tanning pig brains? I’m unfamiliar with either one, but just wanted to understand what you’re referring to. It will be interesting to watch. I’ve eaten pig and duck brains in China. As well as a few other strange animals and animal parts.

??? I have a question ?? Some one told me that I should not give vegetable when they are turn bad TO MY CHICKENS AND DUCKS??? On my country. My parents used to put everything on floor and they did eat what they want. Bread and vegetables with fogus etc.. ANYONE ? Has seen chicken get sick or ducks ??? Thank you

No food poisoning?

Do you bokashi or L.A.B. that pig alternate pieces b4 composting. I so, so remember the smell of that protein pile as it started its putridication process. My 🙄GOD😬🤢!

kidney, liver, heart, lungs, pancreas and feet can be used as dog food.

Wait ... didn't you say that when processing chickens you throw that in there? I think I heard wrong

Id just bury the pig guts in a trench and put some boards over it to stop animsls digging it up You could put some lime on it in the trench and rot the whole thing down

Why don’t you like to feed chicken to chickens? Is it a preference or a biological issue for the chickens? New chicken owner here. Thanks for the video

Welcome the coyotes an raccoons at my house…..

In my country it's strictly forbidden to feed chickens any animal product, except for live insects. They're scared chickens might get mad cow disease. I'm just a dude in the woods nobody cares about. Should I care about these laws? They do sound really stupid to me.

In the UK it is actually illegal to feed your chickens (or pigs) meat. Which is ridiculous, they are omnivores ffs!

Why don't you feed chicken to chickens? Just curious is it just the principle of it?

You named poop wachington dc? I thing thats one of the reason goverment is attacking farmers right now.
