Does anybody rent pluckers in PA/MD?

[Kaitie09]

I have looked everywhere and talked to all the local feed mills and butcher shops. No one around here rents or knows anyone who rents pluckers. I found one online but the number was disconnected. If anyone knows anyone who will rent a plucker for a day in the South Central area, or as far as Hunt Valley, MD can you pm please with a name and phone number?

That is the website I found too, and the number did not work.

I was looking at this online today.... Not the big drum that I'd like but since we're just doing the handful of extra roos, it should work for us.

The guy that makes those is a member on here. I am sorry I can't remember his screen name, but search through various threads in the meat bird section and you will find him. His avatar is a picture of that plucker.

I found a guy today that has the big barrel. I'm going to have to drive 2 hours to get it, but it will be worth not having to pluck 30 birds.

Kristen2678 - My plucker will pluck a large bird in 60 seconds if your scald water is 145-155 degrees, and you swish the bird around and up and down for 30-40 seconds and get a proper scald. The trick is in the scald, and then the plucking will be the fastest part of your steps in processing. If you are doing less than 15-20 birds at a time, you will pluck them in less time than it will take you to clean and put away the tub plucker.
