Chicken pluckers

[Doytmen]

I am about to butcher my first batch of Cornish cross. I was looking for personal reviews on a good chicken plucker off of Amazon, they are expensive and I want to make sure I get a product that last! I have been looking at the vevor brand, what plucker do you guys recommend?

I have a yardbird since 2018. I only do a few birds at a time and it has worked well for me. Heritage turkeys I have to pull the long feathers first and cut off the neck and feet.
https://yardbirdpluckers.com/products/yardbird-chicken-plucker is the one I have. They have a newer model with additional features too

Yeah I was going to recommend yardbird as well. Probably the best sub-$1000 plucker on the market. But it's more than twice the cost of the vevor... Buying a plucker sucks. It's so expensive for what it does, but it's worth every penny if you reach a certain scale. I used to rent one from a local feed store when I first got started in broilers.
