"Louisiana "La-yers" Peeps"

Pics
Date sort Score sort
He holds the bird in place and the cap spins. Fast, pulling feathers from the bird and he rotates bird for the rubber fingers to hit all feathered areas. Only takes about 1 min and the rubber isn't hitting hard enough to cause much tenderizing, skin stays in tact.
The barrel is used to catch the feathers being thrown :/ not so tasty being force fed feathers at 60 mph lol

He has a few tweaks and then ill post pics and a quick how to on a thread (or here I can but wasn't sure how thorough of info to post on this page, maybe this stuff is way old news because I'm new to the chicken world and I'm just excited were doing it! Haha. )
He wants drill mounted, 2 hands to hold bird makes it MUCH easier.
Unless you have a helper to hold drill (i wasn't here for this bird lol still a virgin at chicken kill/clean. Lol) and now wants to get a set of meaties going soon!
Is it cheaper to order larger quantity of chicks? I think freezer space dictates our limits here lol

I don't understand how the little black rubber things pluck a chicken. Also, I assume the drum is to roll it around. Does bouncing in the drum hurt the meat? Just curious. Also you should post this on the DIY thread. I don't think they have ever had a plucker on there. Mostly feeders and waterers. I think they would love it.

We made a plucker for our meaties. But we ended up not using it because we needed a more solid way to secure it. The drill was too wobbly. So we plucked by hand because those meaties have barely any feathers anyway. I found the plans here on BYC somewhere. I think it was the meatie thread.

Is hand plucking hard? I thought I read somewhere to dip them is hot water first? My husband wants to "freezer camp" Harry himself. I told him he's on his own with this one. I can cook him, but can't "do the deed" because he was a "pet" first. Warped, I know...

I wouldn't try any plucking without scalding. We had a big old pot at 150 F for dipping. You can check wing feathers to see when ready
 
I don't think that's warped though. I could do every part of the process on the dual purpose and the Nuggets......EXCEPT cutting the throat. I tried it once. I just couldn't. Maybe someday I will get past it.

If it wasn't Harry we'll be doing, I don't think I'd have too much of a problem with it. Throat cutting...

I might be like you with that part.
 
Just thought I would mention that these Water Bath Canners are part of the sale at Lowes. They come with the items that are listed. I think you can read it in the second picture. Its a good deal especially if you need replacements on some of your tools (which I DO) $30.00 is the sale price.
