Brown gave up on the on the victories all right and wants to do it I don't want to leave them out so what's your first impression grandma boy that thing the water works wonderful yeah yeah you guys are key I mean we're a hard time keeping up with unit so you're doing real good a good to 200 Chapel butchering together yeah but you've done a very important job of sharpening that's 80 percent of the work right there buddy is this gonna be another great day on the homestead yeah it's a so on your homestead okay damn my own stuff are you gonna have you found your role Rebecca all right I heard her saying her mom would not believe you know I heard your mom talking it's like she's she's that makes three generations yeah of us out here working together and that's not even the line like your grandma I mean your mom didn't even have anything to do with like like this land it's not there that's not her land patience dr. day yeah that's nice yes how they holding up in here you seem to be doing good what are we a third of the way through it's only ten o'clock ends up raining a little bit so hey guys go real calm Adam go real calm so check these guys in here just keep them drunk happy as possible look who's back you're getting a shot at it that what you wanted is it everything you thought it would be is that a concentration face is that a grave doubt face are you grossed out no yes no that's concentration what do you think joyful you like it yeah you like the way it feels how does it feel to have a race we're all done the last five chickens and but not the speed but quality Rebecca the judge of that alright y'all ready so much pressure the oil glands hold on all around there a little bit okay so nothing's gonna go to waste so we're gonna take paddock here we're gonna maybe go in between I'm gonna go up here we've diluted it with water this will forever be dreaming hey ladies how's my rack working out metal racks fish we needed to buy more and we just couldn't in time and they were expensive so yeah I had 16 but I think I could put 17 18 19 20 21 how about that do we even have to do the bags over them right now because there's no flies well it's just nice okay all right how long do you let them dry a little bit I still need the waiver okay I agree that I need a piece of paper to input them to mark down I need a place to do that all right we got you that table right there that close enough yellow cold I'm excited about this all right so this is where the pigs were and they killed for us we're gonna put this grass seat down just past Rashid and then let's throw the shavings on top of it to be our molten sand fertilizer there you go good we're spreading it out over the whole thing perfect man I'm excited about that that's so good thank you pigs thank you chickens it's all about and proving the pressure for the cows all right third and final load it's nice to have this cool room some people say tenderizes them to put them in the fridge first for three days I haven't seen the need with Cornish cross but it does put less pressure on your freezer you want to hand those to me well no you're eating you're eating so we've set them in here err airing out so air can get all of them all around them and we've been able to put them all on our metal shelves this is nice and look at the size of these birds whoa six-five it's not just point 5 at 6 pounds 5 ounces 5 pounds 12 ounces the smallest one and this we can be happy with that in the past oh there it is 4 pounds and 9 ounce note we got a 4 4 pounder 4 pounder I think our biggest one was somewhere 6 6 pounds 11 ounces that I'm thrilled since we ate people to a chicken dinner that's 91 in total that means we only lost 9 in the brooder stage out in the field only last night yes one set of birds graduated high school one set of beds gonna graduate kindergarten let's get them out to grasp these are the same age those are normal chickens these are sea monsters this is one of the best jobs this is their very first time on grass she's a good day it's a really good day pants you got a little while hours without one but here you go five more weeks of guard duty here's your new batch Rosie did you see how she was running in there with him just a sheet of laying down she's kind of showing him who's who's in charge right now she did that was a good lay down and on them well as soon as we got done it started to rain you really don't want to put them out in her ink but it's gonna rain all week so we just had to do it I wish maybe we could have set them out under the shed but they'll probably figure it out they have their feathers it's not gonna be cold but I think just best practice we're gonna maybe hurt them you can't hurt them under this thing okay guys we're gonna show you your all right we got them herded under they found their feet this would be better this takes some pressure off of them getting in that the electric fence what you think all right I think you're I think you're happier anyway Rebekah's calculating our average weight we're having supper anything but chicken so randomly I'm from the land and some tomato soup this is delish Rebecca why you finished calculating it up and the kids eat I think there's a number of things that came into the zoo sis it's gonna be a record one McMurray hatchery thank you guys for sending us these guys genes are different from a hatchery a hatchery we're very impressed with these chicks 91 made it to the end out of a hundred some of those were predators some of those were accidental step ons very few of those were just dropped down dead another thing we always fed roosterteeth didn't we we had roosterteeth 24/7 that's grit we haven't been as disciplined that that in the past but I think that made a big difference I think it made it easier for them to digest so the feed went further they just weren't eating us out of house and home we fed them 24/7 and at most at the end they were maybe in 40 pounds a day so they were very efficient with it we moved him twice a day to that last week gently gently that was different so is there anything else that maybe has led to such a success it's soy-free feed which we've always done what's the average nine hundred pounds of chicken how many chickens is here oh you went and counted them in the freezer yeah I wish uh all the divide that by ninety one now give you your average no it can't be nothing did something wrong but anyway numbers calculated okay so bless your heart you're going to do that again no I have them in rows I have like all these added Oh done all right well okay hold on one second forty six ounces okay so wait yeah 473 pounds wait you realize what's happening 473 pounds of food in 58 days so our average was five point five point two pounds yes yeah doesn't really go with the pound fuck no sir yes five pounds yeah that's crazy but do you guys realize that what happened over 400 pounds of food but still right you guys hear that do you understand like spinach grows fast forty five days but how much would you have to grow to get 407 pounds of food sea monster for the wind everybody sea monster for the wind get that much weight off of two pigs and that took five months six seven months that's crazy what are all like chicken so much right eat up boys unbelievable power in the sea monsters could you see my excitement absolutely unbelievable I want to help you guys the best I can and doing this yourself if you want to what about the harvest how do you actually go about getting them from the field through the cone through the plucker through this Calder getting the guts out all that stuff how do you do it humanely and quickly as possible I've got a free instructional video on how to do that the link for that for you guys down in the description thank you also Thank You art and Brie for helping us out around we had really fun it's always better to butcher with friends
