We're in a position to go automated for plucking, which is the best one that will also work for Heritage Turkeys? Something built tough and easy to use, that doesn't damage birds. We're looking at function/longevity over price... wanting one that's worth it.
I was thinking on using it over a tarp and then having a feather screen to catch the feathers but let the water go.
Which plucker makes your life easier?
We're doing the scald in a stock tank, sometimes propane fire and sometimes wood. We have that part pretty well figured out but we're at the quantity now to get those feathers out faster without skinning. Next year we'll have more Bresse available and they're worth plucking.
