Granny's gone and done it again

[Granny Hatchet]

I think we will go ahead and bite the bullet and order the plucker. There is no way we can do by hand the volume we have and can produce. Right now it is the missing link of filling our freezer plus several more family members that are now near us. We are the only ones that don't have full time jobs so there is no way to have any reliable help processing the birds.

maybe they could pitch in?

I didn't bother to look as I filled the can that I buy non ethanol in for small engines. It's always much higher than ethanol but don'e use very much of it.

gas with ethanol is $4.20 and ethanol free is up to $4.70. Town bobcat is old enough that NO ethanol.

Dang, our's is about a dollar cheaper.

The farm bobcat is at the repair shop. At least 2 belts were off and before they can do anything they need to pressure wash it. OMG the filth I am surprised that the Idiot didn't manage to start in fire in it. After multiple comments (by me) about the bobcat spending a night upside down in the ditch. The idiot comments (finally) "it wasn't upside down but on its side." Big farking deal a 45 * angle with the top pointing towards the bottom is STILL NOT GOOD> My mechanic agreed with me.

there is an attachment for your power drill that will strip the feathers off your bird, BUT just one at a time.

I've seen one demo'd I think. It can't compete with the plucker when you have a 100 birds to do.

I used to use that. It works ok. I stopped when it went over the counter for $20. and my insurance wouldnt pay for it.
