A few days ago, Jesse and I had a unique opportunity - to butcher our very first chickens. Because we know that opportunities like this aren’t always available, we decided to say yes. It’s been a goal of ours to become self-sufficient on a high level and this includes being responsible for our own meat whether it’s hunting or raising our own. This isn’t a how-to video, but we wanted to document our experience for those that want to know what it was like for first-timers.

My wife and I went through the same thing this spring. The hardest part was definitely the killing, since I've never been hunting or even killed an animal. But we wanted to go through the whole process. We learned a lot, and it will hopefully be a lot easier next time. Great videos guys, keep it up!

@ianwilliams8234 7 лет назад

Alyssa, don't listen to the idiots in the comments. Those like me who understand support you entirely. Those that don't are the people who think chickens are born on plastic trays in the back of the supermarket...You're doing the most respectful thing and using all the animal - just the way it should be done. I hope the rest of your build goes smoothly!

@kathleenzimmerman8227 8 лет назад

Lets see ... the name of this video is: *Our First Time Slaughtering Chickens: What Was it Like?* When *I* clicked on this video, I thoroughly EXPECTED to see the slaughtering of chickens. It NEVER ceases to amaze me that those who are opposed to eating meat click on the video KNOWING what it's content is IN ADVANCE, and proceed to proclaim that killing/slaughtering/butchering MEAT is NOT their lifestyle, and YOU should not have that lifestyle EITHER. WHY click on the video in the first place?!? Homesteaders do NOT become homesteaders just so they can have the PLEASURE of killing animals!!! In the past few years, I have watch NUMEROUS videos on homesteading, INCLUDING how to PROCESS or DISPATCH an animal for FOOD. In NONE of those videos did I EVER see someone VICIOUSLY KILLING an animal. I have seen people THANKING the animal for giving it's life, so theirs can be sustained. REAL TRUE Homesteaders take GOOD CARE of their animals as if they are a part of the family. And, in a sense, they ARE. If the animal is sick or injured, the owner has several options. Some have an expertise in handling it, and those who don't, call a vet. They do NOT allow their animals to suffer. In fact, I have witnessed some with tears as the circle of life must continue. Take good care of your animals, and they will take good care of you. It makes me wonder if a non meat-eating person cries at the SLAUGHTER of a LIVING PLANT when they SLAUGHTER it and EAT it? I bet THAT plant (aka: living being) did not want to DIE BEFORE IT'S TIME. SMDH!!! Jesse & Alyssa.... gotta say... you did a FINE JOB of dispatching the birds in the most HUMANE and HEARTFELT way possible. I wish you guys all the best as you grow & learn & thrive in a peaceful environment. God bless you both. Prayers...

I had an experienced person show me how it was done. We used a wood chopping block with 2 nails hammered in partially. Hooked the chicken's head between the nails and gave it a firm whack with a sharp axe, head straight off. 1. To handle a chicken, Pick it up by the feet, one leg between 2 fingers, upside down a chicken goes into a catatonic state and will not fight you, their wings splay out and they just go along with it. This helps tremendously in preventing their escape, it relaxes them and they basically just go into a kind of stasis. 2. Dig a hole about 1-2 feet deep in front of the chopping block, and let the head and blood and any unwanted shit drop into the hole, bury it and put your chopping block on top of it so nothing digs it up until it's decomposed and gone back into the earth. 3. Cleaning the chicken is your own prerogative, but I believe if you cut AROUND it's bum, not cutting into the intestinal tract, so you can pull it's entire guts out in one go without getting chicken poo on your meat. I didn't do this bit. The other guy did it, I just watched. If you fuck it up, you just made dog food. Try again...

I shot and killed my 2nd hog yesterday. now we've done deer, rabbit, duck, and chicken, but never a hog. I have been studying on you tube how to butcher. 1/2 the hog went into freezer and the other ground up. to my surprise my 2nd oldest daughter came out and helped with the gutting and trimming. WOW !!! then she commented to me, dad this is the kinda life I really want to life. where everything is pure and i'm self sufficient. she never saw the tear running down my face... teach a child to hunt , fish, to garden, tell will always have food.. PROVERBS 22:6 - TRAIN A CHILD IN THE WAY THEY SHOULD GROW AND WHEN THEY ARE OLD THEY WILL NOT DEPART FROM IT..... LOL

Mutalisk888 it only will take the insecurity of a meal for people to realize nothing is guaranteed in life. when im financially able i want to live as self sufficient as possible. not in fear of the end of the world but for beauty and raw life that is among us. thanks for the comment, made me think a little.

@chrisclark2661 8 лет назад

Here are some tips. 1) get a fish landing net aka small fish net with a pole. Easy to capture chickens. 2) feel around the neck for the veins and cut them both sides, hold the chicken neck back and they will bleed out quickly. 3) not all chickens are the same some will die quicker than others. 4) Skip that whole feather process and skin the chicken feathers and all. It's quicker, unless you love that chicken skin. 5) I wouldn't have kept chick feet, they are nasty walking around in their own crap. 6) Traffic cones work well for upside down chicken holders. 7) capture the blood and get rid of it, it attracts critters. 8) A fold up white plastic table from walmart works great for cleaning 9) Line the table with newspapers for easy cleanup 10) I usually always have a 55 gallon trash barrell lined with heavy trash bag which I fill up with newspaper, guts, heads, etc... and get rid of it fast. Because it stinks and attracts flies.

@purelivingforlife 8 лет назад

Great tips Chris! The chicken net makes sense... we didn't have that at the time. Sounds like you've done this a time or two. We did try to dispose of everything as best and as quickly we could as to not attract animals or critters. We know lots of folks don't bother plucking but skin the entire chicken. I guess that could have been better for us, especially since we don't have an oven to bake the chicken in so we will likely boil it and pull the meat off... live and learn!

@chrisclark2661 8 лет назад

I love and respect our chickens. We get lots of eggs. We let hens raise their own chicks. If you decide to raise your own chickens, you will realize you did your neighbor a favor. There will be more times that not, where you would like others to take some chickens. If you are serious about your chickens being a food resource, and not pets, there will be times when it will be necessary to kill a chicken. I make no apologies for killing chickens, however it's never my first strategy. I do not intentionally kill chickens on a regular 16-20 week cycle. If you raise natural chickens you will learn why quickly. There isn't much meat on a young chicken. They are not like your grocery store chicken who is fed hormones. Over time however, if you raise natural birds, you will end up having more than your fair share of roosters. Too many, and you make the quality of life fo the hens horrific due to excess breeding. So it's necessary to try and give those roosters away or kill them to trim the flock.

I really wish Alyssa hadn't mentioned that during the chasing of the chicken, it had went "across the road." The very fabric of the universe now demands to know; "Why did the chicken cross the road?" I'm sorry, but there was just no way avoid this.

@lancesurgeon7614 8 лет назад

You need to look at rabbits as a meat animal. A hutch doesn't take much space and the dropping are great fertilizer. Chickens for eggs, rabbits for meat.

@MikeGreen10X 8 лет назад

+1 on this comment. Rabbits are easy to care for, easy to butcher, and yield fantastic portions of meat. With very little experience, you can butcher and process a rabbit in a few minutes. They are also quite hardy for cold weather (depending on the breed), and would be perfect for your place. They also....breed like rabbits! A buck and a few does would keep you two fed, no problem. Let me know if I can help with any information on rabbits (or chickens for that matter).

@nonstop9907 8 лет назад

I have eaten rabbit, whilst in the Mediterranean, I'm from England, so its not part of my national dish which is fish and chips, when I look at rabbits I think they look too cute to slaughter, and I bet others would be like how could I eat a rabbit.. but yeah since I have already eaten a rabbit, they do taste good, in the way that people from the Mediterranean prepare them & I did enjoy the taste of it.. I'm not sure if I could kill one yet, If I did id probably say a few words before doing the deed so the rabbit is looked after in the afterlife, I'm not sure if they would understand, when is it right and wrong to do such a thing, these are questions I ask my self.

@Crushonius 8 лет назад

cold is not the big problem just build it deep enough but they have no water on the property . you need a stream or a well to keep the pond topped off

@lilymcfalls8102 6 лет назад

Allison Kauffman This is actually the humane way to kill an animal. Big meat companies are the ones killing animals in a terrible way. I buy my meats from private farms like this one. The animals live a good life before they get killed. I know it may seem like a terrible way to kill, but the chicken is killed instantly, they feel no pain. There are other humane ways to kill a chicken, this is just one of them since the chicken feels no pain.

@SCSlimBoiseID 6 лет назад

Taking an animal's life is never easy. That's one reason why I have enjoyed the hunts I got skunked on a bit more than those on which I was successful. The best way to show respect for an animal's life, IMO, is to use every part of the animal possible and not discard any more than absolutely necessary. No other animal on Earth shows respect for the life of its prey - only humans do. It's interesting that so many PETA-types troll videos such as this, and call them barbaric, but cheer when a grizzly mauls and eats a tourist or camper who "invaded" its territory, as though humans don't have a natural right to tread anywhere but on sidewalks and blacktop. Cities, sidewalks, and blacktop are very recent phenomena in human history. Anyway, ethically dispatching and butchering birds or other food animals is a good skill to have. Cheers.

Growing up, my parents decided to build a chicken coop and have chickens for meat and eggs. I was only 5 yrs. old, but my job was to be the "Chicken Plucker". Mom cut the chicken's head off on a stump with an axe. She dipped the killed chicken in a wash tub of boiling water to loosen the feathers, & then I began pulling feathers. Still remember the smell of wet chicken feathers! The fun part was collecting eggs.

@SuperSojourn 7 лет назад

I applaud your lifestyle choice and your courage to take on a distasteful task. My Mother raised 100 chicks into fryers each year. The chicks came through the mail. There were never any qualms about literally wringing a chickens neck. It was, for a family of ten children, a matter of survival. It was not unheard of to be directed by my Mother to, "kill me three or four chickens for dinner". It was part of my becoming an adult that I was trusted to take a chicken by the head and spin it fast enough and with a sudden jerking motion "snap" it's head off. Which completely separated the head from the body. The body would flop on the ground for a few seconds. I thought the axe idea was gruesome. I never heard of a "cone of death" until I saw your video. After watching this I am convinced that two full rotations and a snap is the way to go. The layers were kept throughout the year and were a different breed. Hogs, I shot between the eyes with a .22. Then, quickly stuck a long very sharpe butcher knife into their chest, between their front legs, to pierce their heart. Again it was how we survived. Today a lot of folks would think my actions abhorrent, even some meat eaters. There is no doubt that the food tasted better back then.

Mama had a short lanyard on one of her clothes lines and made a loop to hold the chickens feet. She then grabbed the chickens head and pulled it toward her. With one stroke of a sharp butcher knife the deed was done and the blood did not splatter her. Guess you could also use a limber tree limb for the same effect.

@mwbhomee2802 7 лет назад

Reminds me of my first time trying to slaughter chickens. I made my own kill cone out of a milk jug. I had my chickens inside a small dog run, but still had a time trying to catch them. When I finally got it into the kill cone I spent over 15 minutes trying to slit its throat, but really only torturing the poor bird (I still feel horrible about that). Finally I called someone I knew who had done it before, and was told how to properly slice a chickens throat (grab its comb and pull its throat taught before cutting). Thanks for posting this video -- it was good remember that experience. :)

In my religion it's frowned upon to hurt something unless you must. There are exceptions for food though. We give thanks to the animal after we kill it, say we are sorry and tell them how grateful we are for them helping feed us. Then we pray that their soul has a happy afterlife. Killing an animal for food CAN be humane you just need to have respect for the animal

Chicken butchering 101: Talk sympathetically to the chicken in chicken talk for like 10 minutes or something, passionately kiss the chicken, then put on a shirt and tie, sit in a full bath with the chicken, then use the lead of a hair straightener (your chicken probably has one) and violently strangle and or drown the chicken (you can cry if you want I don't care) and that's basically it👌

@mikeh1855 7 лет назад

I'm late to the chicken killing party, but here goes. My Aunt Ruth used to have chickens and we used to go to her house sometimes for Sunday Dinner. If we were having chicken for dinner, she would go out to the chicken house, grab a chicken by the neck, walk over to a stump in the backyard, hold the chicken down with one hand, grab the axe with the other and chop off the head of the chicken. The chicken would flop around for a few seconds, blood spurting, then drop. It is amazing to me that she never chopped off her hand with the axe, but I guess she knew what she was doing. She would take the chicken inside and get it ready for plucking. Pluck all the feathers out then cut up the chicken into pieces for cooking. 'then she would grab a large steel spoon, go out to the back porch and come back with a large hunk of lard that she had vats of on the porch. Fry up the chicken and it was, of course, the best chicken you ever ate! They had pigs, too which they rendered the lard from. My mother wouldn't let me watch them slaughter the pigs. I think she was afraid it would turn me into a vegetarian.

@AlekaiCottontail4711 7 лет назад

mike h yeah I wouldn't suggest watching the pig slaughter They have way more blood than a chicken, and it's not just splatting, it's gushing and bursting I thought I could handle our first pig but when I saw it I was traumatized and just sat on a bench petting one of the cows

@emmanuelgoldstein1089 7 лет назад

@midwestmatthew 8 лет назад

+mar1video - In the interests of firearm safety, I need to point out that bullets, fired at such an angle as to hit a bird high in a tree, can travel much farther than a few hundred yards. Also, hitting the chicken isn't going to stop the bullet - it will continue on through and still travel virtually as far as a clean miss. A good backstop is always necessary for a safe rifle shot. However, I assume a shotgun with birdshot was used in this case, which would have far less range, less tendency to over-penetrate, and be much less dangerous when the pellets do fall. I'm not trying to start an argument - just wanted to mention these things since the firearm rule to "Know your target and what is beyond it" is important even if you do hit your target.

@Mississipivaquero 7 лет назад

Take the chicken's legs and place them individually in-between the two knuckles of your index and ring fingers of your non dominant hand (palm and breast of chicken facing same direction). Place your index and and middle fingers of your dominant hand so to cup the back side of the chicken's skull, do this so that you can feel the first and second cervical vertebrae and your palm is facing the same direction as the bird's beak. Quickly pull until you feel the C1 separate from the C2. At this point (less than a few milliseconds) the bird is braindead and incapable of feeling pain and you can exsanguinate (bleed out) your bird. Sometimes the head will come off because there is not much more than a few thin tendons and very thin skin that is really anchoring the head, do not be concerned, the chicken is already dead and can't feel it and the bird will exsanguinate.

Hae Fuustr harsh reality. We kill to survive. It's how it has always been. We need an intake of energy, and sadly we can't harness that energy any other way expect eating, so we must eat what contains energy, those being living things including plants. It's just s chain of energy passing on from one atom to the next. Too bad we can't absorb energy any other way, only thing is eating.

@nathanwaltrip7220 8 лет назад

Peter2kx but it doesn't have to be that way, meat isn't a necessity

@peter2kx 8 лет назад

Nathaniel Waltrip we have two options, to either kill a heterotrophic or a phototrophic being. In other words, a plant or an animal. Regardless of what we do we must harvest energy from another being that has energy. Sadly we can't harvest energy any other way. In my eyes, you are stopping a flow of energy to be given to yourself one way or another, wether thats the flesh of a planet or an animal. you're stopping that being from harvesting energy to feed your own. Humans have been doing this before we even knew what was going on. us being animals, we kill other animals to survival. We also eat plants along with that, mother nature luckily giving us the ability to become omnivores. It's built into our system, into our genetics, into our ancestry. Now, it's hard to get everyone to just change what people do because of some reason like "oh its cruel for the other animals."

Peter Jörgenson SO whats the difference? You're taking another life, You're stopping another flow of active energy. I completely understand what you're saying with the whole fruits can't think or feel, and that it's not a heterotroph, but still. What's the definition of life? to me, the lives between tree and a cow is the same. It's life no matter what way we look at it. We kill to live, so why do we only target the autotrophs? At the end we are taking the lives of something.

John McCarthy this kills the chicken the fastest without them feeling pain. Have you ever butchered a chicken? If you cut their head off wrong, they stay alive and feel agonizing pain. If you grab a chicken by the neck and sever the spinal cord by spinning them, they dont feel pain and there's really no way of messing that up. Its the most ethical way of doing things.

Secondly, I've always heard it was wise to keep free roaming chickens around your house. I think I know why but I'm sure other readers will chime in.

@peterbuiltdriver8816 7 лет назад

When I was a kid we used to catch the chickens by the leg with a long stick that had a hook on the end that their feet could not pass through. Then we had a large wood block with 2 nails protruding that their neck could fit through but not their head. We slipped the neck between the nails and pulled back by the feet and one quick chop with a hatchet and it was done. The entire process took only seconds.

@Larry1942Will 7 лет назад

Long ago when I was growing up my aunts and uncles were farmers. The extended families would get together to butcher a hog or beef. It included the cutting into usable sizes, rendering lard, making sausage & jerky, using the smoke house, and taking the packaged meat to the locker plant for freezing. None of the families could afford a freezer at that time. The locker plant rented space in a walk in freezer. Small critters were also butchered as needed. Chickens, ducks, geese, rabbits. and the occasional hunting kill. Everything was used. Sausage casings were the intestines. Beef was cold packed, a method of canning that doesn't require even a lid. Some parts were traditionally pickled, tongue and heart. My grandmother made great head cheese. Fruit and veggies were canned or dried, everyone had a big garden. The farms all had underground shelters used to keep root crops cool long into the winter, They also served as storm shelters. We live in tornado alley. I have great memories of those get togethers.

@user-io3hy4zb4s 7 лет назад

I'm proud of you. You took the first steps which is the hardest part often times. Chickens are awesome as first livestock. because they are so easy to raise and (relatively) butcher yourself. You'll learn a few things along the way. A mentor would definitely be an asset as you butcher the first 10-20 chickens. A few thoughts, just to be helpful are 1) The cone method is probably the best method to use. Safer and more pleasant than an ax on a stump and it keeps them from flapping (which bruises the meat) during the last few heartbeats. 2) When you slice the neck, you are slicing the vein on the side of the neck. Their left side. They don't really feel it if they have hung there for long enough (20 seconds should do it). You don't want to cut their windpipe. They feel that and it sends them into shock. So a light slice to cut the vein. When they start bleeding, leave them be for a few minutes. 3) When you raise them, you'll come to REALLY appreciate the fact that chickens put themselves to bed at night. They don't fly away (except maybe roosters) but are much more likely to become nuisances as they follow you around. Buff Orpingtons are some of the most gentle birds around, including the roosters. 4) NEVER name your livestock if you are going to butcher it. Killing and eating something with a name is a lot harder. Keep up the awesome work on this channel. I REALLY appreciate it. Blessings.

Love what you guys are doing. I actually made myself butcher 42 chickens this year. I raise them from chic to butcher. It's far more economical to use the Cornish rock cross. Lot bigger chicken for less feed. I don't use a cone, my grandmother showed me what they used to do. Lol it was funny she grabbed the chicken by the hind legs hung on to it for a second stepped on the hens head and yanked the legs. I don't know how humane that is considered to be but it is quick. It saves the entire neck. Only thing I can say for you is when you pick them up quickly reach under their body and grab both legs in one swift motion. After getting them get them upside down as quickly as you can. They will fight for a second but it's easy to hold onto. Then they calm down. Sway them slightly helps them calm down lower their heads to the ground they will stretch out their necks across the ground or try to lift their head as far as they can because you are holding them upside down. Then step on the birds head and yank. If you don't do it right the head won't just pop off so do it like you mean to or it might not be a pretty site. It will snap the birds neck but it's better to just take the entire head off with one pull on the legs. It works if you have to do a bunch. For plucking after hot bath use your whole hand to run over the chicken it will be faster removing feathers like that.

@gnosis7662 7 лет назад

Why kill chicken when you can raise hens and eat their eggs which are considered by many to be the perfect protein? There are also plenty of plant-based proteins you can consume like beans and nuts. Aside from being more humane, it's a lot cheaper to live off eggs and plants rather than meat. If you really want to be good to the planet and save money you should limit meat-based foods.

@brandonrobson2000 6 лет назад

Exactly, in theory - living vegetarian is the perfect lifestyle in terms of sustainability. Sadly in the industrial world a lot of cruelty happens when making vegetarian foods for example cows and chickens are kept in cramped conditions and when they can't produce any milk or eggs they are immediately killed. Any male chicks from egg farms are grinded alive. But in theory the diet is the best in terms of nutrition and morality.

I've a friend who calls me when his roosters get overpopulated. I just go shoot them with a .22 rifle using what are called Quiet-22 rounds (they have a little less powder in them than regular .22 LR cartridges). I don't try to scald them because we're going to cook them in a covered roaster anyway. I just skin them. I save the hearts, livers and gizzards in a little quart freezer bag which fills up eventually and I'll cook them up. She gets the hearts and gizzards, I get the livers. As I said, we slow roast the chicken in a covered roaster and then it gets boned out. Light and dark meat are mixed more or less evenly and put up in one pound packages. We cook turkey, beef and pork pretty much the same way but beef, because it's so costly right now, goes into 8 ounce packages. The packages are wrapped in wax paper and then stuffed into one pound freezer bags. All the bones and trimmings from each batch of poultry (pork or beef) goes into a big stockpot full of water with a quarter cup of apple cider vinegar, gets brought to a boil, covered and allowed to simmer for 24 to 48 hours (you can tell the stock is ready when you can easily crush the bones with a pair of tongs). Stock gets frozen in one or two cup containers, decanted after freezing and stuffed into more gallon freezer bags. Stock is used for sauces, gravies or soup. Most of my cooking involves rice or veggies with meat and sauce (or gravy). We have a small chest freezer (like you use for ice cream) full of stock and a big chest freezer for everything else. Of course we're not off grid which I guess is a good thing because the freezers are essential to our lifestyle by now. Neither of us can eat wheat and my wife is also sensitive to corn, milk and peanuts. Cooking is pretty much mandatory. I really enjoy your videos. Thanks!
