Based on the results of our recent poll, we’ll be posting a chicken cleaning & processing video next 🐔
73% of you said yes, so we wanted to get this out while the fermented feed video is still in the works.
Even if you don’t plan to raise chickens for meat, this video can still be helpful — we’ll cover cleaning a whole bird and quartering it for the freezer or dinner table (no killing or plucking involved).
Thanks for voting and sharing your input — the fermented feed video is coming soon!

Would any of you be interested in seeing how we clean/gut chicken to prepare it for the table? The video would not include any dispatching of the birds on camera. I have a video that we recorded a while ago and never released it because we weren’t sure if that would be something you would be interested to see or not. Please cast your vote below:

Chicken lovers, I grow comfrey and give it to my chickens occasionally as a high protein snack. Watch this video to see how we preserve the leaves so that we can feed it to the chicken even in the winter when the plant has gone dormant! Link below!
