mechanical plucker good or bad ?

[TOP COCK]

I have been looking at building a "whiz bang" chicken plucker , some articles that I have read suggest that a mechanical plucker tend to make the meat tougher over the hand plucking method

Welcome to BYC! I have never used a plucker, but maybe someone in this thread could help you: https://www.backyardchickens.com/f/21/meat-birds-etc good luck!
