➡ Quail Hatch Along🥚

Do you have a special scalder machine or do you just use the stove?

I just use a pot on the stove and a thermometer to make sure the temp is right.

Thank you. I’m not ready to take the plunge and buy a plucker yet, but I’ve been mulling it over.

I just wanted to let you know that you don’t need their cardboard mats, I traced the free mat onto shelf liner and cut it out and that’s what I use. I wash and reuse the same one. I’ve also never used that weird paper sponge. I have pretty high humidity where I live, so it rarely even adds a drop, but you can roll up some shelf liner and stuff it in there, or put chunks of cut up dish sponges in there instead of buying their overpriced accessories.

Thanks, the shelf liner is a good idea. As a former bartender, I have good mats all over the kitchen. The humidity here in the desert is a concern (under 10% typically) so I'll go with their weird paper sponge for now.

Me too. I'd like one that works with quail, chickens, and ducks. It seems like every model out there has some people loving it, and some people hating it.

There's a 50$ plucker on ebay (search vevor plucker) I'm tempted to try. Looks like the fingers are smaller, though.

Be careful of a cheap eBay plucker. @RoosterML What was the brand of that cheap plucker you bought?

The drill bit attachment one? I bought one, figuring it would get me by with the quail for now, and I can always use it on the hard-to-reach duck "armpit" feathers that duck people complain about.

Not a drill bit one, looks like you toss the bird in and put the lid on.

Yeah that's the one @Nabiki . That's quite a fail.

I laughed so hard at “well thats no dang good”

Yep. Good thing you found out before you bought one.
