You can buy the fingers on ebay, too.

Pickup in Texas, only.

But we may buy the fingers there. DH is taking apart the washing machine I picked up Friday (free at the local transfer station... talk about timing! Out of his truck and into mine. Doing my part to keep things out of the landfill!

) right now!

I think the whiz bang is over kill we plucked 100s with a cylinder type plucker can be made real cheap and the motors you can get from harbor freight

 

[Mrs MIA]

Care to share the specs?

go to EBAY type in chicken plucker there is a table top steel plucker for $295,this is very similar to what we made but we didnt use all the gaurds,like they have it

I have ordered the how to build a Whiz Bang Chicken Plucker book. Where is the cheapest place to get the rubber fingers? I tried searching the web but they are all around 1.00 each.

Here's how to build a $6 chicken plucker. Looks like it works pretty well.
