Morning all!
The second bird I did, and didn't scald it too much
, was easy to pluck. I have to admit the gutting was definatly the trickiest part! It is cool the first couple times to see the "goings on" inside a bird, but my hands barely fit in there and I never seem to get all the lungs out.
On the plucking, it only took a couple minutes, and the feathers came out nicely. The only bad part was the smell of wet/soapy/dirty feathers, and I had a problem getting all the down off the skin...nothing beats a good hard water flow for that!!
I'd have to have a LOT of birds to do at once to get a plucker, but they sound good!!
