DIY Chicken Plucker How to Pluck a Chicken

[Bubblytubebob]

I raised 100 last year and ended up 90 and I'd never raise more than 50 ever again. It was just a little too much to deal with. I like your plucker . I was just wondering how you could make those rubber fingers with some ribs on them . Maybe some kind of branding iron could put ridges on them. think it'll pluck a lot faster and you'll eat less feathers. Good Work Buddy !

@Bubblytubebob haha! Thanks...it would work better with ribs or something...not a bad idea man!!

[barcenasfrank]

Wow that is cool. You make another video with a zoomed in view.

[london1817]

@barcenasfrank I have another video of it up close but I don't plan to do much more plucking.

[london1817]

@tracy471 well I think I spent altogether around 20 dollars on it.

You should have a Plexiglas/Lexan/Makrolon/polym­ethyl methacrylate shield so that the operator doesn't get chicken feathers blasted in their face.

@randacnam7321 That would have been really nice to have.

[SunEDragon]

Much better than hand plucking!

[london1817]

@SunEDragon Oh yeah! way better....last time my hands hurt....not with this plucker!

awesome design, have to bolt go farther thru your cap into a "Pillow Block with Bearing" for better stability.

[london1817]

@1stontario That would be a sweet idea....maybe more fingers on it too. A couple

things need to be done...to really make a good one really.

[baddogonline]

That doesn't bruse the meat?

[jihadacadien]

Yumm, that feather tasted like chicken butt!

Okay Rick, you'll have to give us a better shot of the Feather Shooter.

[london1817]

reminds me of the time when I went back home to live with my mom and dad after a divorce for a while on their farm. He said he had too many roosters and I could kill some of them and clean them. Man that rooster was delicious.

[binashraf]

how did u make it?

[deasttn]

@binashraf

I see a drill and a barrel.

The spinning head is probably a piece of PVC pipe with some rubber fingers (lots of folks use bungee cords inserted through holes in the PVC pipe).

[nuprin9116]
