Yardbird Chicken Plucker

When we were growing up we plucked by hand. Now, we adult siblings get together at the farm of my brother, who has a Yardbird. Makes it so fast and easy. I highly recommend.

I used this 4, maybe 5 times. Water got in the motor housing and corroded the entire thing. I already tried replacing the capacitor, now I am looking into a replacement motor. I am not real happy with my plucker right now. I have about 20 too many birds in my yard and don't know how to get them all processed...

My parents raised 12 kids on a Mixed-Farm during the ‘40’s thru to the ‘70’s, back when animals were naturally Organic and kids knew hard work. Mom raised about 200 chicks to butchering age every year. The roosters were butchered in groups of 25 to 30 birds a day, until finished, then she butchered hens when past their prime in groups as required. It was all manual plucking by 10 fingered daughters 🤣(a day’s-long process!). With four gals and a mom, each with their job, it was a smelly and tedious task, repeated weekly, in the Fall. I am sending your ‘link’ to every one of them interested in raising their own chickens. Raising them is relatively easy, it’s the plucking that’s the worst! It’s laborious, smelly and time consuming; the very worst part of the entire process! We, ‘kids’ are all over age 60 now, and look back on those awful days without fond memories. But to the brilliant inventor of the “Chicken Plucker,” I give a huge “Thank You!” We needed this “Chicken-Plucker” then, and believe me, it’s needed by millions of farmers TODAY!

I do all while the chicken is alive. It makes my day so torment the bird. 😂

That’s it. I’m starting my own chicken farm.
