Just found this site when searching for threads on the Wizzbang Chicken Plucker and various chicken scalders. I live on a small 70 acre farm in Northern Maine, and raise many types of animals and birds, usually I have a flock of laying hens and do some Cornish Cross meat birds and Pekin ducks in the summer. My animals are in the "downstairs" of my barn, along with the laying hens there are an assortment of Bantams that pop out with babies all summer long, Romney sheep, Jersey cows, Angus cows, a mini donkey, a couple of alpacas, a Paint Horse and various rabbits. In the past I have had more types of birds and raised Royal Palm Turkeys, Peafowl, Quail, Pheasant, Ducks, and Geese. After doing my birds and ducks this year I decided to build a Chicken plucker and it is in progress right now hopefully ready before I have to do my older hens to make way for the young gals.

Home of the world's cutest dachshund, one crazy blue heeler, two cats,
one fat pony, and many (but not too many!) chickens
