Chicken Plucker

Would they work on quail or would they rip them them to shreds?

I absolutely LOVE your killing cone. I've been wanting to buy one but you're right - they are insanely expensive. I will be buying one from you within the next couple months or so.

I've never done quail, but I would think that if the skin and feathers are similar to chickens, you'd be fine- there's nothing too powerful about them, it's all in the scald.

Thanks on the cones- I think they work pretty good, and I've gotten good feedback. After making them, I have NO idea why the hatcheries are getting $50 for them! Maybe they're using heavier gauge metal, but how heavy does it need to be?? It's not like a chicken is going to bust through sheet metal!
