LOL.. I posted it to show my brother-in-law what the my new plucker looked like...

I'm getting one! It takes toooooo long plucking by hand,and I've allways favored "skin on" birds.

Me too.. I have not used it yet, but the box says it will do 2 birds in 15 seconds.

Keep us posted on how it does. I'm paying $50 just to rent one.

It does say 2 8 pound birds, I am hoping it does one 16 pound bird...


I have my eye on one of Bert's kids for thanksgiving day Guest of honor....

I will let you know, I should use it in the next week or so, my feed bill is getting too high, and using it should reduce the feed bill.

Just weighed my 2 remaining Farm Ranger cockerels they are 7.7 lb & 7.9 lb

These were the lighter of the birds that I kept back to grow on, well they have done just that, loads of breast meat on them.
They are 14 weeks now, so I will either process them this weekend or grow them on for maybe a 9-11 lb whoppa.
