Broiler Chicken Cut Up Competition
12 of the best poultry processors from across the country went head-to-head to see who could part out a broiler chicken the quickest, and with the best yield. Points were awarded for time, final yield, and whether they kept the skin on the breast.

How in the world does the chicken spin the egg around?
Knowing chickens are susceptible to respiratory problems, why would you ever put a poison or anything that is a dust directly on their bodies? I seriously disagree to this.
Awesome video 👏 I am always looking for a cheaper way of doing chicken farming good Idea on the conex boxes!!!
To all the bigots, this is what It means to be halal. No difference stop demonizing Muslims
Can you add sevin dust to their dust bath areas?
Dude i make the same faces in every repair big facts
Great
I love you it

Thank you for the timely information. I was about to set my 8 week old chicks in an outdoor coop in Vermont. But I will wait for drier weather.
I do not eat meat.
How do we know what dinosaurs acted like? 😉. Nice video. Thinking about turkeys.
Ducks were our new adventure this year and man, we are hooked! We have been using your tractor design as a daily move night/feeding/security shelter for our pastured meat and egg ducks and security alarm geese. They are sectioned off in our electroneted poultry pasture near the broiler tractors. They have a Dollar General toddler pool filled daily and their own large grazing area I move 2 times a week. I can not believe how they have benefitted our pasture. They are prolific poopers and the healthy green grass that follows a mere 2 weeks in their wake is astounding. They are delightful happy animals that love the rain like I wished I loved anything. Brooding the babies is a bit messy and a chore but worth it. Plus those Pekin ducks grow twice as fast as my broilers. They are giant and ready for freezer camp in 49 days!
So, you’re probably thinking to yourself that this should be easy to build once you buy the plans. Well, these are the single worse plans I have ever seen in my life. The only person that can understand them is someone with 20 years either in construction or farming. Nothing is explained in detail, and it makes it nearly impossible to understand. The images are garage, and provide no insight. The smart thing to do would be to make a video in addition to the plans to go step by step. So mad I wasted a week building this.
We raise pork and laying hens, we often have people come to the farm asking for chicken. So I bought your plans and will be building them soon. We are looking forward to our latest enterprise on the farm.

Very good info, you made it look very simple. I needed this video, thank you very much
Thank you for this!
They are actually lovely animals. ❤

about to move my pigs, and their new pasture is across the yard... I'm so scared they're gonna run lol
Where does the 1600 come from? Why is that the number? And this still doesn’t tell me how many cows per acre. Can we just tell us how many cows per acre to achieve mob grazing properly? Or am I missing something?
Thank you!
Six years later, this video is still helping people! Thanks! My trimmer looks great now but still doesn't quite work right. Time to try replacing the throttle lockout and tension spring...or something.
Wow i will not do this
Came across this. Fantastic information. I subscribed. I'm so impressed. Keep up the fantastic work to help more people.
thanks so much for this info, we were ready to give up and buy a new fence.
Where do you find those plastic sheets?
Hard to believe to feed goes stale. So how do you know how long the feed been sitting at the store? I would imagine it would be months maybe even years they need to keep a large inventory in stock
I did your # 1 too, ive fought for 2 years now
Hi quick question please… can these lice and mites be transferred to my dog and I? My yellow lab loves the birds. They climb on her and then she sleeps at foot of my bed. Same type of lice or different?
Saw you through howard Awesome man proud of you hope all is well
Mean; that’s abuse! Please go Kosher, where they dont treat chickens so horribly. They cannot die hungry nor thirsty! They cannot be packed up like that!
We also have anthill going.

Hi now what you do when it rains
I bought your book and made our first tractor. We'll be raising meat rabbits and chickens for my daughter's 4H auction projects. How did they hold up in the winter? We get several feet of snow and sometimes ice in our area, did you find the snow accumulates on the chicken wire?
Are you still growing hops if so how much water did you use per month?
hes feeding you and keeping you warm too little girl ..... we all know where this goes 😂
❤
My rooster seems to be picking on one chicken. Just wants to chew her head up, but not trying to mount her at the same time I separated her but once I put her back, he does it again.
What keeps them at home? Why don't they just fly away?
Hello Johnsos's Kovich . How many times do your neighbors do the growing process throughout the year? How many chickens do they raise on chicken tractors during each growing process? Do they raise chickens for themselves to eat all year round? Or do they sell chicken?
Hello John, how are you to day? How long do these birds need to incubate between the day they hatch and the day they go out into the field? How many days or weeks of age is considered standard for these chicks to be taken out to the field?
Hello. When you say "3 Weeks Brooder / 5 Weeks Field"; Does "Brooker" mean raising in a coop / "Field" means keeping it by grazing in the pasture?
How old do they get?
Yeah I would choose wholesaling my birds for less money than selling them at retail for more money anyday. Less is more for me after hearing your take on it 😅
