Feather plucker for quail and chickens

[Ashleychandler0918]

Hey, we currently have a bunch of quail that we are looking to process and I am wanting to get into raising meat chickens bit I am having a hard time finding a plucker that will do a quail bit also fit a larger chicken. If you have any recommendations it would be greatly appreciated!

Have you looked at the drill options? It's an attachment that you put on a power drill that plucks the birds. you can use it on any size bird.

Thank you for the reply, yes I did look at those but for the amount of birds I have to do, I wasn't sure if that would be the best option. When I watched a video of the drill attachments it looks like feathers were everywhere and all I could imagine was them going in my nose!

Did you find one that you like? I am looking as well. I just pluck chickens by hand normally because I'm too cheap to spend the money on a plucker..... yet.... Plucking quail seems like it would be a nightmare. Hope you found one that works for both.
