I like the home made plucker. What did you use for the black rubber?

Great job! We are working on our first butcher now. We have 15 of 28 done. We started on the pullets today and they seem to have more pin feathers. The 8 we did today didn't go as fast as I was hoping. Still only a few hours but I still think it could go faster if I could get the feather situation down better.

To the one who had the homemade plucker how did you do it? I would love to make one but it would have to be really cheap right now. We had our water hot, I used dish soap in the water also and plunged them into the cold water to stop the cooking of the meat. What could I do different to make it go better?

that plucker looks so simple and efficent!!! I also want to know how and what was used to build it. i am guessing it is put on a drill????

They turned out really nice and DANG that roo was big! I am really getting the courage to raise some up for my family. Not only for price but for knowing what was put in it!!!!

NICE JOB!!!
