Just made a plucker

[daneblackburn]

i made from a lucky buck deer attractant bucket. I haul milk so I got some rubber inflations from one of farms(rubber part on milker that milks cow). I cut off part that goes into milker cup, but I left the part that snaps on bottom off cup and connects to claw. Then I ground off bottom of bucket smooth drilled a whole in center and put two old circular saw blade on both sides to make rigid. Drilled holes with a one inch wood bit; I would probably use a 7/8 bit next time though. Rubber is 3 inches apart. Trial run is Tuesday. What you all think. Ill get more pics tomorrow. Approximately a 2 gallon bucket

used last night worked great. Had to cut back feather guard, but that was it. No mess all feathers in barrel. Cut holes in it so water could escape. Cleaned easy and plucked a chicken in a minute. I think I could easily cut time in half once I get a little more time running. Try to get some video tomorrow.
