My dad built his own plucker using a washing machine tub. One of my nieces wanted roasted chicken for her wedding reception. So the day before the bride, some cousins, Aunts and Uncles along with grandparents processed about 30 chickens that the father of the bride had raised. We took lots of pictures. She celebrated her 8 anniversary this month.

When I was knee-high to a grasshopper we knew we were having chicken because Granny would be crossing the backyard, heading to the stump, with a chicken tucked under her arm, and an ax in her other hand. Chicken was always eaten on butchering day.

Thank you for being one of the few homesteaders that bring to us the homestead lifestyle instead of doom & gloom about the world events. Bravo!

Gizzards are my favorite part! The key is good seasoning AND pressure cooking! Soft and delish. Can’t get enough gizzards.

I worked on a turkey farm for 20 years & it didn't bother me having turkey sandwiches for lunch, infact I like it, because I knew where it came from, how it was fed, looked after & pressed 😍😍😍😍

Gizzards are yummy. Livers too. Nice video. 💕

Awesome channel and great work shop for Homesteaders to learn the next step in becoming self- reliant. Take care.

Thank you for all you do for your community and us You can't get any fresher than that

Thank you for your videos. We have been able to learn so much from you. The most important thing I feel like we’ve been able to learn though, is building a community and making sure that you teach other along the way and try to share what you have learned. You have been one of the channels that have inspired us a lot to make KZread videos and start homesteading. We might not know much now, but we are going to keep learning anyways. Just wanted to thank your family for everything. Thank you and God Bless.

Great show would love to see more Shows per week really enjoy your stories.

glad Randy won one. have a great day. enjoy the information and videos.

I use hearts,livers n extra gizzards in my thanksgiving stuffing, cut up fine n most people don’t know its even there usually. I was brought up on home grown Rabbits n chickens, dad thought us younger kids were to young to watch or participate. Ordered ur online class, but yet to watch it all, looks pretty simple n easy. Ty n Blessings to you all 🤗🙏🤗

We love the gizzards. We salt pepper and flour then fry add cream of chicken soup and cook until tender. I canned gizzards also.

Very helpful very fun I wish be with you guys

Another great video! Thankyou Sow the Land!

The gizzards are my favorite. Always have been ever since I was a little kid. Now I am old, but I still love the gizzard!

Cool that you have done it enough that you are past the rule of no chicken on chicken butchering day. That is a good sign of acceptance of our role as harvester.

Fried gizzards are very yummy? No one wants to eat them at my house but me. They have never tried them, so I don't say much, and enjoy them all by myself. Yum! Try them you'll love them. We enjoy your show so much. Keep up the good work. 😎😂😘🤗😇👍💙

try chicken foot soup its amazing and great job today hugssssss from Canada

Randy is a good dad!

First off, I was floored When you said, You have never eaten any of the gizzards Before, what did you do with those? Pressure cook them at 15 pounds for thirty minutes with salt and pepper and garlic powder , to Tenderize them. Then you can batter (Drakes Mix) them and deep-fry them , when you pull them from the fryer sprinkle Cajun Seasoning Over them and Eat them. Delicious!!!!!!!

Great video. Love the coolbot trailer.

Great job on the chicken processing. Love all the farm animals …. The barn is looking great.

Hi.... Jason and Lorraine, thank you for showing your video homestead chickens farmer garden 👋 bye 👋 bye 👋 bye 👋 👕🐔🐓🐣🐥🐕🐄🐖🌱🌺🌹🌻🌼🌸🌷🏡🎥👍👍👍

Love love love it, from Taylorsville NC

I can remember my MIL say, "this chicken was a miracle from God because it did not have a gizzard." LOL. That was because she ate it as soon as she fried it. Everyone in the family ate them but me. I still don't. Great that you offer these work shops for folks to learn how. Pretty soon you will have educated everyone. Have a Blessed day.

Just the video I needed to see!

Great Video as always. love when you show Fuzzy Nuggen. thanks

gizzards are tougher than hearts and livers, so it takes longer to cook. Keep this in mind. Usually here we cook them together and everyone has a preference 😂 Boiling them when you make chicken broth is the easiest way, but I prefer other recipes.

Its nice to see all these good people coming together to help!

Enjoyed the video

We cook the chicken gizzards in the pressure cooker first. Then we prepare a spicy breading and deep fry them. They are a treat, we love them!

Yey, Randy! Finally! 😉😉😅 Good to see you all! 🤗🤗💗🤗🤗

Awesome

Good day for harvest 🤗👍❤

How was it first time you ate your own chicken? Love your video

amazing!

Another interesting chicken workshop 👍

Love chicken livers. Only two per chicken. Everyone else made faces about them. So I was real quiet about loving them, and promptly nabbed them burning my hands to eat, in the kitchen. Noticed my mom did the same thing with the gizzards. Both of us with secretive smiles. :) Thanks for the plucker info, and demo. Usually you only see someone with one, the other, or homemade. Difficult to compare them.

Great job

It has to be a great feeling of accomplishment on butchering day, to know you’ve completed a process for the family ✊🏾 BTW @08:40, what’s the update on the hanging leg of pork?

Chicken pluckier race on my Birthday. Thank you.

fuzzy still rocking that do! 👍

I wish y'all where closer to me or someone near taught this.

My favorite parts of a chicken are the wings, the necks and the feet! Weird, eh? I used to love eating the gizzards but once as a child I bit into one that wasn't properly cleaned. Never touched another gizzard! I can imagine that homegrown chicken tastes awesome!

Nice Chicken Day ❤❤

Tenderize those gizzards bread them up fry em oh my goodness yum

Gizzards, we used to fight over the gizzards. Mmmm good.

Thank you for this video! I'm going to refer someone on Abundance + to it.

Gizzards, hearts, liver & necks are great!!!!!!

God bless

If I weren’t 67 I’d sooooo get into raising our own meat birds.

I did white Turkey's years ago 10 very good eating last year I did 6 wild west Turkeys and free ranged them gave 3 away they said they couldn't eat the legs because they where so tuff my white Turkey's wherecin a 10 by 10 cage tender and so good Just saying

I want to learn, so badly how you do chickens. I hope one day maybe I can come down to your guy's place or Justin's Place. I want to learn it all.

Have you tried spraying the inside of the metal chicken plucker with pam spray before starting?

You have never eaten the gizzard? I just fainted. Lol

Where did you get the wheels for your chicken tractor? I'm a new subscriber and i Love watching the videos.

Haven’t eaten the gizzards?! Delicious! Kinda tough but they are good!

heya, evendo it's not my 1st time seening chickens going to freeze camp it wil never been border to me

Funny that you said that about eating chicken on butchering day: We live in the city and can't butcher out chickens or the cops would be called, this is a safe haven for birds. But, when we fish, come home and clean the fish, I will not eat fish for supper. It would be an overload of smells and emotins.

💛

chicken stomachs are delicious, I cook them first and then I fry them in butter

Im curious as to how many acres you are using to graze the cows on? You produce very interesting vlogs.

Hi Sow the land Family @Jason where is link please

But the plastic plucker looks larger? I’ve heard that a lot of people don’t like that particular metal one due to its size

How long would it take you to butcher 20 chickens if it was just you and Lorraine?

Hi. I’m wondering if the in person chicken butchery class is still available or open?

Are the feathers in anyway useful apart from for compost?

Where did you buy the mobile chicken tractor guys? It’s adorable

I build everything myself

Use the gizzards in dirty rice dressing

Ohh so your meat chickens are raised differently than the egg ones we saw with the rooster

Does the first chicken scalded always loose the race? Maybe that's the deciding factor 🤔!

👍👍❤️

The gizzards are my favorite! I would stop at KFC and get a pint of gizzards a box of wings and truck on down the road!

Which plucker would you recommend?

You have a link for which heat shrink bags you use? Or what size? Thanks

I do have a question, why a vinegar bath?

Did the goose survive? I was thinking it was a guard goose.

Help me out, I always overfeed prior to butchering to find the neck gizzard? Am I doing this wrong?

Where I can buy a pluckers

Do you weigh yours after bagging to know your total pounds and average?

I hope you guys are making and selling those chicken tractors🐔🚜🎖️.😎✝️🙏🌎🕊️☮️💜

I processed 30 Cornish Cross using a chicken plucker. It only took 5 seconds to remove feathers but often skin tore??? I live in Canada or would sign up for your class. Any suggestions?

Do you soak in a brine? After we process we soak our chickens in a salt brine we noticed it softens the meat probably removes blood?, Reminds me of Asian culture hanging chickens so blood drops out of them, also meat butchers hang meat to tenderize the meat. So any ways it also takes away that somewhat type of wild bird taste makes it like store bought flavor. Just wondering?

Why in the world would you put them in vinegar?

OK, so how do you kill the birds?

I think the next time if I get any other animals on my land I think I would just stick to the chickens because they’re much easier to harvest and handle for harvesting. I have pigs and my pigs are over 1500 pounds. I have sold about seven of them but I have one pig no one wants to take. So he’ll have to be harvested but the problem is I don’t have any way to harvest 1500pound pig. can anyone assist me

🤟🏻🇨🇦🤙🏻

More than 5 minutes in if you want to see what you came here for. For us that want just the facts, get rid of showing the farm and into the actual topic of the video. I’m not here to be entertained.
