How long before gutting?

[geeky_farmer]

So yesterday I was wondering how long is OK between killing and gutting.

We did them strictly one at a time, but how long could I leave one in the cone?

Does it make a diffrence on plucking speed?

So if it takes 20 minutes from kill to gut is that to long? Trying to think of ways to streamline my process.

Perfectly fine timeline. I would be concerned if it were hours. You want to chill the bird quickly once it is dead.
