  • you did a great job on this video, i just started to raise chickens for food too, what was the blue tub with water for, after they had been defeathered

  • The blue tub with the 'fingers' is the machine that actually removes the feather! thanks! Good luck in raising your chickens!

  • HOW IS THIS GOOD... You are still killing animals...

  • I also thought this was going to be on "responsible poultry harvesting." Instead, it's just conventional practice: slit the chickens' throats, bleed them and then remove their feathers, etc., though in some areas they were deficient, i.e., having to try 3-4 times to slit the chickens' throats correctly, before having any sort of success. I'm against animal slaughter, but I thought this was at least about more humane slaughter, of the sort that limits suffering for animals. Anyway, keep fighting.

  • Taking responsibility for the food you consume encompasses many acts. The Native Americans gave thanks to the deer before it was killed and recognized the value of all living things. We know where our food comes from and like the Native Americans, are grateful. To us, this part of being responsible. Slaughter is not pretty and neither is giving birth but the blood that flows is life affirming.

  • Everyone, including me has a right to express their opinions and beliefs. Thanks for sharing yours.

  • @darkendbites2000 mmm, chicken :) get over yourself.

  • @jurcia There's no way to avoid some pain when slaughtering but when done efficiently and w/experience it is greatly reduced and death comes quickly. I'd admire your sense of self though......

  • It is enough to watch, yet I agree it is important to see and know where your food actually comes from. I experienced pig slaughtering in the countryside when I was young, and I did not enjoy it nor wanted to be a part of it. And as soon I had a chance to, I became a vegetarian. I used to fish though, but the understanding that even small creatures feel pain, and the compassion for them came later.

  • @jurcia actually that is the ideal and essential time for people to experience helping with butchering. My kids help me with our chickens and they know better than any of their classmates where their food comes from. When they are adults, they will know what it was all about and can make decisions about their food from that knowledge.

  • oh man rock on with your bad self! I slaughter my own birds, so obviously I watch a lot of these types of videos and make comments! that was the best one I have ever read!!

  • who do you think did this job when we fist settled this country? wemen/children....
