Strongly believe that you raising your own chickens for eating is firmly in line with - not opposition to - your values. Too many people don't know how their food is raised, and are ready to eat food from factory farms whilst also condemning those that do the dirty work. It's so important that children also have contact with the way that food is made too, so they never take it for granted like some of the people who comment negatively seem to.
People would eat a lot less meat and be a lot less wasteful if they had to do this work themselves. As a vegetarian, I applaud your family for making this choice. 👏👏👏
If I’m honest, I’m glad the chickens grew up in a place where they were looked after in a loving kind place and then eaten. I don’t think I could do it myself but I know they could have gone to a very bad home where they grow up in a bad environment where they are treated badly because “they are only food”. People seem to forget that the life matters more than the end, we all die in the end but that doesn’t mean we should be cruel because they only going to die.
Cow!!! Isabel is saying her words so well❤ It's awesome you eat your own birds!!! They're are fed, and raised with love. You know every thing about the birds, and there not loaded with antibiotics. Freezer camp they go😊
At the end of the day the people who are asking how can you love and then butcher animals for food don't realize your kids are learning several life lessons respect for animals and learning where their food comes from
My city raised husband would like to believe processed food just appears in the grocery store. He doesn't want to think about them as being alive previouslly.
I want to raise chickens so bad, and be sustainable on my own. I know it will be hard, so thankyou for showing this, because it's amazing education on how to be ethically sustanable.
We had a Vietnamese family move in. My MIL watched them and asked if chicken coops and live chi chicken were permitted in out community. We live in an HOA community. The CC&Rs only permit indoor domestic pets - dogs, cats, fish and birds. I was the Treasurer and was one of the people who had to go down to explain the County also didn't permit chickens. We helped them take down the coop. Fortunately the chickens hadn't been delivered yet.
Bella is so adorable, she always makes me smile. She reminds me of how my own kids were. my oldest two are now 14, middle two are 11 and my youngest is 9, I miss that sweet sweet stage that Bella is at now, she is such a treasure.
Honestly the best way to eat meat! You know that they have a good life and a healthy one as well! People who eat storebought chicken should do some research before commenting! Love your videos, keep up the good work. Looking forward to the aviary!
This really reminds me of my chicks in my village, I watched them hatch I took care of them feed them every day but 2 months after I gotta leave them suprise! They have their own children!... They look soo cute ( in the vid )🥺 reminds me of my dead chick 😢
My goodness she has grown so fast your daughter she is definitely the youngest sister to the boys. The resemblance is uncanny. She is such a beautiful little girl and three handsome young brothers. Oh she’ll be well protected.❤❤
I have enjoyed watching your family grow! I have noticed how much better the boys speech has gotten! Yall have done an awesome job helping them improve in that. They are all growing so fast!
One of my very favorite things about your is when the boys lay down and you put all of those baby checks on them… I love listening to their little giggles as the chicks pick up their little arms in on her face and their feet poke through their shirt and poke their tummies, and they giggle… It’s just the best time of innocence with them and the chicks… The chicks are unsure of their footing because you’re used to you stepping only on flat surfaces, and now they’re having to learn to balance themselves on a slightly curved surface. It’s just one of my very favorite things I’ve ever seen on your videos. Children are so true true situation. General responses are real and genuine, and I love their little voices, and I love their choice of words. And this time I like that they put protection on their eyes which I don’t know if that was their idea or the parents, but pretty smart, whoever’s idea was.!! ♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️ I show love a day the chicks arrive, because it’s also the day the giggles arrive😊😊😮😊😊😮😊😊😮
The one with the poof on its head reminded me of my chicken Marigold that died from a bobcat.😭 So please don't kill that one it is the cutest thing😭❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❣️❣️😍😍🥰🥰🥰
We used to get baby checks in the mail and I don’t remember them being nearly as cute and likely as the ones you get!!!!! I love it when you do the “chick bath”😊❣️❣️❣️❣️❣️ I don’t know who gets the most enjoyment ouf it: the children as they lay there giggling as the little chicks Walk on your tummies, or the adults watching the process. I just get the most enjoyment out of there giggles and how many little baby chicks you were actually able to get on their stomachs😊😊♥️♥️♥️♥️ Say “Cow” 🐄 😊♥️
This is one of the best "chick baths" I have seen and I have seen a few. Love and prayers from Idaho. I would put the little polish with the hen because itt will grow so much slower than the broilers.
I’ve watched your channel for a WHILE. I’ve watched almost all of you videos. Let me say that I’m a big fan of your channel, and your editing has improved so much over time! I’m always looking forward to your videos 😊
it's awesome that your raising your own meat. also a funny coinsidence someone I know also ordered meat birds and got a golden laced polish from mcmurray.
I would love to see you guys get some lady amherst pheasants, and then crossbreed them with the golden pheasants, both with a golden male and amherst female and reverse, the crossbreeds can look really cool!!
My family memebers ask if I ever feel sad eating my chicken but in all honestly no, I give my chickens a good life before they are eaten, chicken you get from the grocery are raised and probably never even touched grass. Love what your family does
I’m surprised that is all you raise for meat. Would have thought you would need more for your large family. Love your videos. Appreciate the candid way to describe farm life.
I'm always glad to see a notification from you guys! You've showed us the hatchery process from eggs to shipping, but I'm curious about the lives of the laying hens. How do they get so many eggs?
I respect how you live and I only wish that more people were able to live this way, take out mass production of farming animals for meat , if we all did it at home , it honestly is a lot less of a cruel life for them , they’re not some small cage in a factory, never seeing the light of day and being endlessly sick too .. ❤❤ well done to you and accomplishing this life ❤❤
PS~ it’s always interesting the names which your children pick out for the animals. I’m always smiling at some of their choices, and sometimes I actually laugh out loud.!! such sweet, innocence❣️❣️❣️❣️❣️
I can completely respect your take on raising meat birds. I think it's on par with Gold Shaw Farm's take-give them a great life, experience & living situation with one bad day.
When I was a kid (ironically, in semi-rural Missouri!) my parents had chickens (unfortunately I can't recall the breeds! We had an asshole rooster named Ike though), ducks (later on, when I was in middle school), goats (at two separate points), horses, miniature donkeys, and, at one point, even turkeys (that ended up flying away). My parents currently live in rural Missouri, and I've genuinely been thinking about surprising my mom with a bunch of chicks of varying breeds in the mail for her birthday (December 11th) once I have the disposable income because of you all
Oh this brings back memories from 1990's When we had an acreage we would get chick's from McMurray, usually got the rare chick batch, So much Fun to try to figure out what they where! Got the broiler lot to fill our freezer too
"How can you love and play with your birds only to butcher them?" Would you prefer the birds aren't raised with love before they're butchered? People are funny. 😂
Gosh darn it's been so long I joined you guys, may /31/2017 Six years it's been glad that you guys are still making videos I remember (talking to husband) I think you guys were still having your second child, wow time does fly by. Keep going you guys you got this 😊🎉
Guys there's a chicken war going on Titok. I think you can smash all of them. They are showing every bird they got on their farm. You got this. I recommended you guys😊
Are goals are the same as yours we want to grown all of are own food and even more to donate some. I feel that being broke is only temporary and should not be looked down on for they deserve the very best in food also.
You ought to contact Living Traditions Homestead for the American Bresse chickens they raise. They sell the day-old chicks. They're like the Ginger Broilers as far as growth time... 12-16 weeks, but they are great for dual purpose. Keep the pullets/hens for egg laying, large beautiful cream colored eggs... and harvest the males (less one for breeding purposes) for the freezer. You're looking at 7-8 lbs for the roosters, and they're now considered the 'Waygu' of chicken meat. Kevin and Sarah won't ship out of state, so since you're both in MO, shouldn't be a problem.
Jake, been watching you .... Forever it seems. Always will as long as you put out content. Just wish🙏🏻 I'd win a incubator 😆. Keep it up!! Blessings to you and Becky and family ❤️

I am a boy and my name is faaiz and I love chicken very much
I too have a gender and name and have an extreme admiration for a certain species of bird.
I do really love chicks so it really hurts me that they are killed in here too
I agree I don’t eat my chickens but still chickens are food so are eggs it’s really no different than eating chicken from the store
So precious you keeping this tradition with the kids 🐥 🛁
Thanks, Darlou 😊
People would eat a lot less meat and be a lot less wasteful if they had to do this work themselves. As a vegetarian, I applaud your family for making this choice. 👏👏👏
Bet you grow all your vegetables:)
The kids & chicks are absolutely adorable! Love how gentle each of them is with the animals. Awesome job teaching them!
Great group of baby chicks. I love the little Polish one. Praying for the eggs under Bert! Have a Blessed weekend!
you are correct there was a polish
Enjoy watching your family grow, birds are so cool!
I feel the same way
If I’m honest, I’m glad the chickens grew up in a place where they were looked after in a loving kind place and then eaten. I don’t think I could do it myself but I know they could have gone to a very bad home where they grow up in a bad environment where they are treated badly because “they are only food”.

I love your outlook on animals and family. Your family inspires so many of us city folk. Congrats on the new chicks.
Thanks 😊
Isaiah holding Isabella's hand in the truck is adorable 13:02
Cow!!! Isabel is saying her words so well❤
It's awesome you eat your own birds!!! They're are fed, and raised with love. You know every thing about the birds, and there not loaded with antibiotics. Freezer camp they go😊

What a sweet memory they are making with the chick bath! Adorable.
Thanks, Shannon!
You guys have such a lovely family and i pray that God protects you and your family.
Thank you, Tshepo

I never judge or comment ..I like to watch your great family and kids... they bring a smile on my face....keep going and ignore negativity...😄👍❣️
You are doing me
The joy on your boys faces is so pure and contagious 🥰💜
Very cool. I respect what you’re doing. You give your animals a good and natural life.
Good going, guys. Your position is well explained and far more sustainable than any haters out there.
I appreciate it, Billy
I want to raise chickens so bad, and be sustainable on my own. I know it will be hard, so thankyou for showing this, because it's amazing education on how to be ethically sustanable.

The chicks are quite flexible to handle that.
I used to get worried when i first saw my hen do that
It's funny because it's as soon as he says "it seems like she's going to protect the new chicks"
I love chicks more than any other creatures in this world. They are the absolute cutest ever.😍😍😍😍
Bella is so adorable, she always makes me smile. She reminds me of how my own kids were. my oldest two are now 14, middle two are 11 and my youngest is 9, I miss that sweet sweet stage that Bella is at now, she is such a treasure.

Oh my gosh she's so stinking cute!! That little "cow...cow" giggle & dance! Your kids are the sweetest!
This really reminds me of my chicks in my village, I watched them hatch I took care of them feed them every day but 2 months after I gotta leave them suprise! They have their own children!...
They look soo cute ( in the vid )🥺 reminds me of my dead chick 😢
Same delivery system for bees, come via the USPS. Great video to share why you raise your own food. God Bless!!
During the “chick bath” I got a chuckle out of the cat sneaking up with great interest. 😂
Cat was like.. " even I want i chick bath" 😋😋
🤣

🤣
My goodness she has grown so fast your daughter she is definitely the youngest sister to the boys. The resemblance is uncanny. She is such a beautiful little girl and three handsome young brothers. Oh she’ll be well protected.❤❤

I love the chicken bath. I might have missed it last year. ❤️
You guys have inspired me so much when I grow up I’m going to have a farm
Awesome!
The one with the poof on its head reminded me of my chicken Marigold that died from a bobcat.😭
So please don't kill that one it is the cutest thing😭❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❣️❣️😍😍🥰🥰🥰
Aw the chicks are so cute 🥹
Your baby boy got so beautiful eyes and eyes lashes God bless him n the rest of you FAM. Hi from Fort Worth TX Violet Medrano Blessing always ❤️🙏

This is one of the best "chick baths" I have seen and I have seen a few. Love and prayers from Idaho. I would put the little polish with the hen because itt will grow so much slower than the broilers.
Thank you for show from 2023
I love how your video’s are still mainly About the farm and just video fragments of the children instead off making it al about the kids!
Keep up the good work its kept me around for 4+ years
I appreciate it!
That binky with the mustache is funny😂😂
Very sweet, what a lovely tradition 😊
Oh to be a child again.. the boys are having so much fun 😂
I’ve watched your channel for a WHILE. I’ve watched almost all of you videos. Let me say that I’m a big fan of your channel, and your editing has improved so much over time! I’m always looking forward to your videos 😊

it's awesome that your raising your own meat. also a funny coinsidence someone I know also ordered meat birds and got a golden laced polish from mcmurray.

I’m surprised that is all you raise for meat. Would have thought you would need more for your large family. Love your videos. Appreciate the candid way to describe farm life.
We eat a lot of food, but 1 chicken per week usually works and we still have chicken, turkey and beef in the freezer that will last us quite awhile.
I put 24 eggs to be incubated I have 17 out of 24 hatch started Monday and yesterday I couldn't be happier to welcome the new lil ones to the family
You all are such a joy to watch. And we get husbandry tips as well. ❤
Thanks, Maureen!
Chicks 🐣 are so cute 🥰 and adorable 🥰
Beautiful family as always
Fres like from Yemen 🇾🇪👍👍👍👍
I'm always glad to see a notification from you guys! You've showed us the hatchery process from eggs to shipping, but I'm curious about the lives of the laying hens. How do they get so many eggs?
Remind me of the good old days that we can raise chicken in home, "our" government need a licensed and pay for it since 2006, no mercy.
At this rate your sons are going to be chick magnets
I respect how you live and I only wish that more people were able to live this way, take out mass production of farming animals for meat , if we all did it at home , it honestly is a lot less of a cruel life for them , they’re not some small cage in a factory, never seeing the light of day and being endlessly sick too .. ❤❤ well done to you and accomplishing this life ❤❤
Love your chickens projects.
So cute❤ can’t wait for the next video.
PS~ it’s always interesting the names which your children pick out for the animals. I’m always smiling at some of their choices, and sometimes I actually laugh out loud.!! such sweet, innocence❣️❣️❣️❣️❣️
Yay for the annual chic bath!!🐥
They all sound like my 3 chicks😂😂
So cute
I can completely respect your take on raising meat birds. I think it's on par with Gold Shaw Farm's take-give them a great life, experience & living situation with one bad day.
Beautiful! TX.
The kids are getting so big!!
I used to raise my hands or the eggs.Cause I couldn't kill a hand could I fall in love with them too easily?My heart's there
Love your vids keep up the good work! 👍
Thank you White House on the hill for hearting my comment

😂

Thanks for such a cheerful, wholesome and uplifting video. You are definitely doing God’s work. Thanks again so much.
Wow this comment makes me sound like the lamest square old fogey that ever walked. Screw those chicks, life is pain.
Thank you, Andy!
Such a great video. Love watching the boys with the chic bath!
I appreciate it, Debbie!
Love it!!!
Bernie is cute! The boys are so funny with their chick baths LOL!
Gosh darn it's been so long I joined you guys, may /31/2017

TY for showing the cycle of life. We all must obey Entropy (the 2nd law of thermodynamics). Natural Law is what governs our and all life.
All of this is so true.
did he just YEET a BABY CHICK into a GARBAGE CAN?! 3:27
I think it was an eggshell or a dead chick
Red shavers take 21 days to hatch
Are goals are the same as yours we want to grown all of are own food and even more to donate some. I feel that being broke is only temporary and should not be looked down on for they deserve the very best in food also.

Something to learn: So you have the chicks grown for the meat; while the current hatched from home chicks are for the eggs?
Correct
I had a chick named Burnt Brownie! 🐣❤️
Jake, been watching you .... Forever it seems. Always will as long as you put out content. Just wish🙏🏻 I'd win a incubator 😆. Keep it up!! Blessings to you and Becky and family ❤️
Keep trying!
