- Our first time to ever raise our own meat chickens was a success!! Only 8 weeks ago we were getting these chicks in the mail, and today their journey has ended! We were Blessed to have Jason and our good friends (The Planks) from Church to come over and help! It really made the process enjoyable and timely! We hope you enjoy the video!

JASON MAKES YOU SMILE AND YOUR DIMPLES POP UP BIG TIME !!!!!
Thank You Dutch for allowing the Sawyers to use your equipment and thanks to the friends that helped in the process! This was a wonderful learning experience and a great collaboration with a wonderful community 🥰❤️😁🤓
This was a wonderful learning experience and a great collaboration
Jacob, it is nice to see Jason helping you. Make him work hard, haha.
I wish I was closer to this dream of homesteading! One day, I pray!
They won't borrow you nothin'!!
Haha
Such a great experience and a fun time! Always a blast hanging with y'all
Hahaha! That made me laugh every time I saw that. 😄 We had a great time and so thankful for your help! 👍
Jacob... do not remember if our family has told you. Thank you very much for your service, sir. Much respect ✊ to you and all your fellow servicemen and women.
Pettway Family Farmstead thank you! 😀
I can remember helping my great grandma when i was like 8 years old plucking chickens by hand...It took forever!!!!
Fly away chickens, fly away. I have a lot of respect for you guys. I could raise the chickens but wouldn't be able to kill and process them myself. You do what you need to take care of yourselves with homesteading. I was told by someone I couldn't be a pioneer or homesteader because I can't kill and process animals., I would have to pay someone to do it for me.
I love how you guys aren't afraid to show your mistakes. It may help your viewers avoid doing the same thing.
Very nice of the Planks to come give a helping had and Jason. They will enjoy the chicken given to them. Pigs went to town. Thanks for sharing Jacob and Alex. 6lbs
That was great. Thank you Sawyers. Also, thank you Jason, Nettie, & family. Great help! The video was very helpful & informative. Now I've just gotta convince hubby this is our future!
Have a blessed rest of your day! -much love from NJ ~Mary & fam
I loved this video because of how well everyone was getting along and because of Mrs Plank. Her cutting skills were worth the whole video. I always enjoy Jacob, Alex and Jason, but that lady taught me something I can do at my home with a store bought chicken! I will never process a chicken as I do not own any chickens , but I have watched at least 5 videos on the subject ( because I like the people doing the videos) . Sorry Dutch, Lumnah Acres , Hidden Heights Farm , and Weed em and Reap , this is my favorite video because I can do something even if I do not own meat chickens.
That was awesome how Nettie cut up the chicken. By watching y'all and Dutch I am trying to get over the fear of processing chickens. Very well appreciated. Thank you so much.
Boy that lady knows what she's doing she's awesome😍
Missing this group. Do not kno what happened between the friendship, but loved watching Jacob n Alex with their homestead talents. Thanks.
Same way my Grandma taught me to cut up a chicken! Much cheaper to buy whole chickens and cut them up yourself! I love Nettie’s place in Chouteau! Great food!!!
I agree, although we never took the breast off the bone. She didn't quarter the chicken like I thought she would. She cut up the chicken. We'd cut the back in two, and that was my favorite piece because there wasn't much meat on it. If making chicken stock out of it, save the neck (without the head) and make broth out of it. I just looked at a video on cooking chicken feet as they do in other countries, but not me.
We ordered 100 and 97 of them made it to freezer camp this past weekend. 😋
That’s awesome!! 👍😁
It's nice to see people helping each other....more of us need to do that....stay safe ya'll 💙🙏
I had a nice chuckle every time Jacob said he was "scolding" the chickens. I had visions of him "yelling" at them for not growing bigger. Mrs. Planks really knows her way around a butchering knife. If I was 1,000 miles or so closer I would come sample her baked goods for sure.
Nettie was definitely more experienced than any of us! We were glad to have her there showing us! And her baked goods are the bomb!! 😊
I remember butchering 100 birds the last time. I don't miss that smell! 😁
All that knowledgeable help! What a blessing!
Wish I could order from her bakery! God Bless
I am a city girl...I love you guys. keep on being you!
Nice meaty chickens. I love the gizzard, hearts and livers. It always amazes me to see those items being tossed. Gizzards and hearts were my daddy’s favorite. Just cook those gizzards med-low and slow. So tender. I really enjoy your videos, please take care and be safe. Joice
My Mom used to make a gravy to go with them & potatoes, or she'd then bake them into a pie.
My husband makes a giblet bread dressing for Thanksgiving using the gizzard and hearts. I'd rather have cornbread dressing, but he loves his. I'd only throw away the liver as no one in this house likes them.
Love the bloopers they were funny. I also love seeing how many people came out to help on processing day. Natty seemed like a pro. Look like a good turnout and a great time processing thank you for the educational video
Hello 👋🏻 all!!!!!!!! I appreciate you taking the time to do step by step videos which are very helpful! Nettie Ann was awesome, the tips she gave about breaking down a chicken and being able to watch them was great 👍🏻 It’s so beautiful watching friends helping each other and loaning each other equipment, it’s like looking at how neighbors and family and friends use to be❗️Tell Nettie Ann if I didn’t live so far away I definitely would be visiting her bakery 🧁, 🥧, 🍩, 🍪, 🍥,🥮, 🥟, 🍰!!!! 🙏🏻 y’all stay safe, healthy, and happy 😃. GOD BLESS lol 👍🏻✝️☮️
I knew she looked familiar. We love Netty Ann’s bakery. Fresh baked bread makes a great sandwich and we always get pecan pies from her for our holiday gatherings. Good job processing, lots of good meat for the freezer!
The bread is SO good!
Omg so respect you had Amish family out so awesome
Growing up, my family always processed whole chickens but referred to as broilers. I was also taught to return borrowed items in the same way as you. If it got damaged or even broke down, you repaired or replaced, then returned. Plus it was done in a timely manner or when agreed upon. The processing and your comment reminded me of good memories. Thank you for sharing.
Lots of good help always makes the job easier and way more enjoyable.
I loved watching your friend Netty clean and quarter the chicken. It's gotta be the best how to video I've seen honestly,and I've seen lots. Y'all grew some great big beautiful birds..great job!!
Well,good for you,two. Not afraid to be self sustaining in this old modern world. Those chickens will taste better than 'grocery store' ones!👍😁
For sure! 👍😊
I grew up cutting up whole chickens. We bought them whole because it was less expensive. I was surprised not everyone knew how to do it that way. Good day of processing!
u r so right when u borrow something u need to clean up and give it back so right then if u need it again Dutch let u borrow it again good friend .God bless u all
It's always good to have great friends help with harvesting time. Like she showed how to cut up the chicken, as a learning experience.
Great education video and how nice of the Plank family to help and show. I know most Amish will not come on camera. They have so much knowledge that they can share. Learned alot 💜💙💜
Sharing with friends makes the day more full filling as well one never feels as tired as toil by just yourself.
Iove the banter between Jacob and Jason. Reminds me of my siblings (being a twin myself). The amazing amish lady is so accomplished xx from the UK
I remember back as a kid.We use to butcher chickens on grandma's farm. Her favorite parts of the chicken were the neck and the tail. She said that's where the meat had the best flavor. Me, I like the thighs or the whole leg quarters.
My Dad's favorite part was the Parson's nose (the tail ) After the bird was cooked he would cut it off and fry it. He loved a crispy fried Parson's nose. Lol
Stay happy, healthy and safe.
God bless
My mother in law told me she always got stuck with the feet.. And I've seen them in pkgs in the grocery store.. They don't look like they have any meat on them..
We did save the tails for Calvin’s (Mr. Plank) mom! I’ve never heard of anyone eating the tails. Lol
@@pamkammann1176
No meat from what I understand it's all like gristle.
I've seen them before in soups. Probably add some good collagen and make a good broth. Not sure that I'd eat them. But I'd be up to try cooking with them as seasoning. Then giving them to the animals. Lol
Stay happy, healthy and safe.
God bless
m Pedmar she never explained how they fixed them for her but I do remember her saying there wasn't much meat ..
You have some Amish Mennonite helping you how wonderful that's what I am are used to be when I was very young my dad was Amish my mom was raised Mennonite some wonderful people
THE AMISH DO NOT MIX WITH MENNONITES .DIFFERENT CULTURES.
@@jackfishmagurkin8403 Well...obviously they did for her parents
Throw a few handfuls of salt in that ice water and you will be giving them a pre-brine before freezing
Brings back memories of my childhood.. I remember a hatchet being involved lol
I’ll tell you the truth... I’ve watched at least 10 videos tonight about bothering Cornish chicks and you are the first video to show how to quarter a chicken. Thank god for your channel
That is awesome! I’m SO glad you were able to find our video helpful! 👍😀
That's really nice of your friends to help you all with those chickens! Thanks for sharing! Much Love & God Bless Ya'll ❤🙏🏻😇🙏🏻🤗😘
I fry the back just like the other. Thank you for your advice on borrowing stuff. That has always been our philosophy.
Great video! Loved the outtakes. They gave me the laugh I needed right now. Friends always lighten the load, whether it's with physical help or just hanging out and being part of the experience. With all that's going on right now, it's good to see people still coming together.
Y'all did AWESOME! Enjoy the fruits of your labor! God bless y'all 💖
If I didn't know better I would swear that Jason and Jacob were brothers, perhaps they are. Those are special friendships. Cherish them. Good Job and Loved the teaching learned quite a few things myself. God Bless.
They sure act like brothers! 😄
Ages ago we raised chickens for eggs, just enough to feed the family and we butchered extra roosters and hens that weren't laying any longer. Never raised meat chickens per se. My wife is the one that knew how to process the chickens. Since we only killed one at a time it was a lot different than your methovd. She said that to get tender chicken it had to be relaxed when it died so we held the chicken and petted it until it was calm and then she slit the juggler vein with a very sharp knife and we held the chicken, keeping it calm until it bled to death then held it upside down to finish bleeding out. Did the scalding and plucked it by hand then she cut it up the way you did. She was right, it was tender chicken. Thought you would be interested in hearing the story. My wife was from the Philippines. Loved your video.
Great learning experience.. 8 1/2lbs. God bless everyone.
You all showed so much helpful info, from a beginner thru to a pro. 5-6 pounders
This a very nice harvesting of your chicken, that was so nice having the help you had, thanks for sharing! 😊👍💕💕💕
I love the heart, liver and gizzards! They are the best part.
I’ve watched everybody’s vlog on processing chickens and I seen everybody do it a little different. Learned something this vlog too. Good job!
Hello Sawyers and Jason!
That was great that y’all had all the help. It looked like things went pretty smoothly, except for that one poor chicken. LOL. It’s also a great time to fellowship with others. Blessings, Love & Hugs from Vicki in Ft. Worth, Texas 🇨🇱🇺🇸👍❤️🥰🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
What a great plus to have a family like Nettie's as friends.
You guys did a great job, bringing memories when I was child when I did it
Awesome harvest for first time...
Have a good evening 🌻🌻🌻
Glad you made this video. I am going to be doing this in the future myself. Thanks for sharing!
I’ve been watching some of these chicken processing videos. Good job!
You guys have it good. I grew up actually ringing their necks and plucking by hand. That’s a pretty good process these days.
This was a great video! I truly appreciated the quartering.
You should not apologize. This is your life this is what you do. I’m sure this was very helpful for people. Thank you for warning me. I hit the like button and left the room. I kept the video running so you would get credit. My dogs watched and enjoyed it. Hahaha By the way, I used to eat meat 40 years ago. I remember the first time we killed a Turkey for Thanksgiving..... it ran around with his head cut off because we didn’t know what we were doing. That was life before youtube. All your videos are educational and they help people.
Thank you so much Sharon for liking and keeping the video running even though you didn’t want to watch! That means a lot to us! 😊
My dad was not keen on chicken he had to do all that as a kid on the family farm! So glad we did not have to! But we have got fresh chicken from some local farms! The best!! That was cool to see! Thank you for shsring!
Ya'll did a good job. It was so very nice to see the family's children participate. Nettie Ann was really informative about quartering the chicken. Thank you for sharing. I'll go with Alex and say 7 pounds 7 ounces.
yes, she sure did that in a flash...getting the lungs out is my hard thing...and cutting up isn't as pretty...practice...
Ginger Reid, you might want to go watch "Sow the Land" . They just butchered theirs as well. Lorainne has a curved scoop method that cleans the cavity of lungs and other things in the groves of the back.
If I had been blessed with a daughter, I wanted to name Ginger Marie. My nickname was Ginny or Gina ( gin ah). It isn't very often I run across someone whose last name is spelled like mine. Take Care
Thanks for this how to video. Getting me 30 meat chickens at the end of July and this will come in handy. Thanks again and enjoyed to out takes. 👍👍
Great video, I remember doing this as a kid. We didn't have the plucker... that's way to cool. You guys a wonderful day and God bless. 7.2 lbs bird
I work at the plant that made your chicken plucker. Awesome to see how it works
That’s pretty neat!! 😀👍
Your the this one today that processed. I'm glad to see that everyone has fresh chicken in there Freezers for the winter👍
Great job!
JO JO IN VT 💕😄
Those pluckers are great! We have one and used it for the first time this summer.
Gizzards, livers, and heart are my favorite.
Great video, thank your for sharing.
God bless.
Hi Jacob, Richard here from Rooster J Acres. I use a metal coat hanger to catch my chickens, bend one end like a hook, and all you got to do is hookem by the feet. Easy catch.
Never watched that before. Good to see. Nice to be so self sufficient.
Those wing tips...my little Cairn Terrier loves those. Nothing for her to choke on & she knows they are all hers! Boil those backs & the rest in a big cook pot until they fall apart...then you can strain the broth (I add salt, pepper and some poultry seasoning while boiling)...let the broth cool in fridge overnight...the grease comes to the top, scrape that off & put into a small jar ( I freeze it to keep it good)...same with the broth, freeze it to keep it good. All the little bits of meat, etc. can be given to critters (even chickens).
I wasn't sure I could watch this . but I'm so glad I did. Dang I learned a lot. Ms Nettie (Hope I got that right) She's a pro. Now I know how to cut up a chicken great tips wow !! Very impressed.
Very cool to watch!!! Your friend was good with that knife
Hello EVERYONE 😁🏆 fellas I was raised on a chicken farm.... and I've got chickens and ducks ..... let's do this
She explains well and does a great job!
Nice job y'all. We did 55 on Saturday had a few 8 lbs and they where 3 days short of 8 weeks. Awesome feeling having the freezer full. 😁 So nice having help takes the chore out of it. Thank you and GOD bless
You’re exactly right! 👍
Nice cover for the deep freeze!!! Beautiful
Good video thanks for sharing. In the 60s n 70s , we did it different in Louisiana.
You know when you two guys met you didn't know what you had as a friend a true friend that will drop everything and come and help you that's awesome good luck to all of you I love all of you the wife the brand Jason's friend Matt I love you all and I watch all a lot I don't comment too much but I do watch I am Terri Burnham from West Virginia
This was very educational video.. I happy to hear nothing goes to waste.. Everything goes for a purpose.
I have seen many a vlogs on harvesting meat Birds. And by far you guys put out more information and show n tell on chicken separation. Glad I ran across your channel. Just became a subscriber. Fixing to start homesteading after 32 years of body aching labor. Time to rest, relax and live.
Thank you! I’m glad you enjoyed it and found it informational! 😊
Wow very impressive how quick Mrs. Plank is to process those chickens! The lungs were the hardest part for me to get out when we processed out first chickens. We need to get a plucker. Looks much easier than the dry pulling that we did. Granted we only were processing two chickens.
You guys are so much fun I love watching you you make everything look so easy
Loved watching you and friends too
It looked like a fun day! I really enjoyed watching Nettie Ann cut up the chicken, I learn something new everyday!
I went to Google maps to look up her bakery, we’ve driven by it many times on our way to MO. I’m pretty sure that’s where my dad stops to buy sweets! 🙂 I’ll definitely be stopping next time we’re that way!
She has some of the best stuff in there! We love her bakery! ❤️👍
I loved the outtakes at the end 🤣🤣🤣 too funny. I also liked the way she cut that chicken up. Ive always cut it completely in half long ways and then quartered it up. Less bones the way she did it.
I love watching this video hunter
Good vlog guys! Don't think I'll ever have to process my own chicken, but I do love eating it. 🐓😋🐔
I would never throw away the liver,heart or gizzards. My favorite thing to eat. Back in the 60’s we butchered chickens all the time. Y’all never forget that smell. Love the video!
There was a butcher shop in our neighborhood where I grew up and my brother worked there.He would bring the chicken backs and necks home and my mom would make Chicken Perlo.
Wonderful helpers 🙏🙏😍
Wow, thanks for the warning about what was actually going to happen. I checked out but I’ll be back for the next video. I can’t stand to see blood, I’ve tried to get over it but I have fainted before looking at a cut. I was in nursing school and had to leave when clinical came up! Lol The school said I might get over it, but I haven’t in all these years. I admire what y’all do with your animals and gardens. Okay guys see y’all on the next one.. guess y’all can tell I’m from the South with y’all! Lol yeah Alabama,, Be Blessed 🙏
Some nice looking chickens to and it is wonderful to have friends over to help also get some work out of Jason too. Hehehehehehe
Godbless all yall now
I make soup from neck and backs its delicious once you pick.our all the bones 😊blessing to you all at Sawyer Ridge Farm 💕
Awesome healthy meat. Those chicken tenders didn't get the mention they deserve. lol They are small but my grandsons favorite part of the chicken.. This video was respectable and educational. Thank you. Take care and God Bless
That was a great video wonderful instructions on butchery.
wow 6-11 is pretty crazy! once it gets pretty warm they sure do drink a lot, thanks for the vid, cheers!
Great day to learn and be with friends .. great video..👏👏👍🤟
