Pastured Poultry Processing Equipment & Setup

Описание: If you are planning to raise chickens for meat, having the right processing equipment will make your life much easier. Before you learn how to butcher a chicken, it's a good idea to have a solid plan and know what chicken processing equipment you need. On our farm we raise Cornish X meat chickens and process them here on the farm every week.

In this video, we first cover our chicken processing set up and all our equipment we use as well as recommendations for other equipment based on the size of your operation, be it a small homestead or a pastured poultry farm.

Make sure you subscribe to our channel as I will also show you in an upcoming video how to process a chicken humanely and how to process your chickens. This is great for homesteading or if you are after those pastured poultry profits!
