Still new and learning, but with your problem of pin feathers, check into your scalding technique.
I have learned that water temperature and amount of time scalding can make all the difference in the world.
Hello,
We raise our brolers in the winter due to livestock show. We are still learning having only done this for 4 years now. We live way in the south, and we have learned that heat is not a broilers friend. When it gets into the 80's, they just shut down (after a week or two old).
To answer...
I am very new to the game with a desire to learn.
I am looking into buying a plucker, but I have no idea where to start.
I have seen several from plucker being contained in container and an open plucker with feathers going everywhere.
I am interested in contained plucker with rubber...
