Butchering our First Guinea Fowl

Our two Guinea Fowl were not getting along with our chickens. This intensified to a level where we had to make a decision. This decision was extremely hard, but we want our homestead and skills to continue to grow and develop. So we made the tough decision to butcher these two Guineas.
This was the first butchering we did on our homestead. Watch this raw and real footage of a grown man butchering these birds, even though he absolutely did not want to. Our homesteading skills continue to develop and reach new heights. This was a huge day for us, but it was not easy.
Thanks for watching!

First kill is the hardest but none are fun. Great job!

[@roothomestead4504]

Thank you!

I really enjoyed the honesty of the video. I have one very aggressive Guinea that’s headed towards this fate.

[@zackmedina1245]

Good to see you folks intuitively figured your way through this process, great job on the video 👍

[@roothomestead4504]

Thank you!

[@roothomestead4504]

Good luck!

He ain’t a city boy no more! Welcome to the club

The cat went from what smells so delicious, to I don't want any part of that, and then back to what smells so delicious. 😂

I chased one of our 15 down to tag it with spray paint. He's the firts to go. Being a BIG BULLY to even our roosters.
We've drawn their lifespans out. Time to feed ourselves now...

[@roronoazoro9852]

Bird felt nothing. It was just lights out.

[@bagzmore6055]

Super fast and humane. Well done.

[@delta-db2qk]

Clean dispatch of the birds. I will likely do something similar if/when the time comes. Can't imagine its a fun process but how did they taste?

[@roothomestead4504]

Tasted amazing! Probably the best we have ever had. Thank you!

[@appallokelley3207]

I was expecting a lot of hate . Good on the viewers.

[@roothomestead4504]

Honestly I was worried about the same thing when creating the Vid. Thanks

[@rosenaryan6433]

Hopefully you can shed some light for us. We just harvested our first guineas and the livers were not red like a chicken. The girls was yellow and boys were grey ish. Is this normal or is something wrong with our birds? Thanks in advance!

[@roothomestead4504]

Sorry I do not know much about this subject. All I have heard is yellow indicates a fattier diet and is ok. But Green is considered a bad sign. That is all I really know.

[@thusomofokeng6244]

I feel. Bad. Gutea fowl

[@kingisback7534]

Thank you so much beautiful girl please make more chicken turkey quail and duck slaughter video big fans love you ❤️❤️

[@pinchyh]

I think this way is a little bit more humane than a killing cone due to the speed

[@roothomestead4504]

I agree. Thank you.

[@baral6747]

Hi dear lady
Thank for your video
Do you slaughter this birds yourself ?

[@roothomestead4504]

Thank you for watching! Yes, we slaughtered these ourselves. This was our first time but we are doing meat chickens in the Spring.

Bless you dear and your family ❤

[@cumulonimbushawknificent6330]

Can you eat the gizzerd liver and heart of a guinea fowl like you can with a chicken?

[@roothomestead4504]

As far as I know you can. But I am pretty new to guinea fowl.

[@cumulonimbushawknificent6330]

Thank you😁 just butchered my first too.

[@siouxunit17]

Howd it taste

[@roothomestead4504]

A lot like chicken but it seemed to have more dark meat.

[@tipr8739]

Do squats and deadlifts before and it’ll be extremely swift

[@dennistrawick]

Are you okay?? are you okay??!! my God folks if you have to console each other just go to Walmart and buy some chicken!!lol......

[@roothomestead4504]

Yea the first time taking a birds life was harder then I thought it would be. I was not raised with this life style. But I'm getting tougher. I better we have 30 meat birds were doing in April.

[@TheDarcy2010]

taking a life, no matter how insignificant you may think it is, isn't easy. you may think nothing of killing a fly, as do i, but it's fine to not be ok with it.

[@kidvinie6491]

@@roothomestead4504 I feel for you. I'm not religious but thanking the bird as I take the head off and process helps me. Weird but it works.
