“No Mess” Chicken Plucker Works Fast
Yardbird says its new chicken plucker provides a quick, easy way to pluck poultry. It can fully defeather up to 2 birds at a time in 15 sec. or less.
  The chicken plucker rides on 2 solid rubber wheels and is operated by a 1 1/2 hp. electric motor. It comes with 110 replaceable rubber fingers mounted inside a removable stainless steel tub. The fingers pluck the feathers while washing dirt from the skin. A small round discharge chute at the bottom of the bucket deposits feathers into a bucket.
  You first soak the bird in a 150-degree scalding bath for 15 sec., then drop it into the plucker for another 15 sec. The company says all feathers and dirt will be removed without tearing the skin or breaking any bones. A 1 1/2 hp. electric motor spins the base at the bottom of the tub at 300 rpm’s, while a built-in irrigation ring supplies water to help remove feathers from the bird and flush them through the discharge chute. The plucker base will stop spinning automatically when the tub is removed.
  To clean up, just unlatch the tub and use a garden hose to spray out the debris.
  Sells for $449.99 plus S&H.
