It started out nice until it was time to gut then then our florida tourental Downpoor came and I was stuck out in it , it least it cut down on the flys

That's a good job on the plucker you did and some excellent looking chickens! I hope to get one of those built before my next batch of chickeny goodness.

THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR POSTING HOW TO MAKE THIS!!!!!

I think it is simple and easy for some of us less crafty peeps!!! i feel like i could use this without help from my hubby and i am getting braver as i type about getting meaties!!!
 
Those birds look great!

How much "hand picking" did you have to do to finish them up?

Just curious. I was going to build a whiz bang but if this workds well enough, maybe I'll just downsize.

I'd love to see a video of how you work the plucker but I know that it's too late for yours but if anyone else does it please make a video for us
