  • Well done video, thanks. But... those are pin feathers; birds don't have any hair (only mammals do).

  • @Jefferdaughter You are correct, it is just an easier way for me to describe them to a novice.

  • dont you feel abit cruel doing that?

  • @IMikeTysonI Cruel, no. 

  • wonderful video David. Thank you so much for making this. I have chickens and I plan this week to butcher 6 of them. I have watched several videos on youtube and yours is by far the best. I feel that i can now do this and have no worries about it. Thank you again, and your baby girl who really made it all calming. May you and yours be blessed.

  • @sheilaann120 Thank you for the kind words, I feel it is vital that my children know where their food comes from and that is not the same barbaric, unethical methods used by the large food producers they see in the news.

  • I never kill any animal in my life,if I want to kill one I either shoot its head or give it sleeping pill:}

  • Great how to video. Thanks

  • @TheModernPrepper I eat lots of chicken, just the food chain we must eat and kill in order to survive. Thanks for the video :)

  • @TheModernPrepper

    What kind of chicken was that.........Was it a Cornish X? And can you please tell me what chicken......... standard and heritage breeds do you prefer to eat.......Thanks in advance.............

  • @IMikeTysonI - One life gone for a 20minute meal that could have been replaced by plants... Cruel? My vote is certainly YES!!!

  • why not just chop their head of stright away?

  • How do you keep the water hot?

  • We butchered one of our roosters last December, but we did it with a hatchet. That was a pretty traumatizing experience. This chicken looks much more calm. No death throes, even?

  • @jaymorpheus11 Most of the time, "cage free" just means crowding the birds all into a big shed. You can't really be sure, unless you are allowed to see the place the animal was raised. 

  • I wonder if it says "cage free" on it... if it's really cage free
