    This Is my before and after pictures of my new plucker I had to make some changes due to it not working out well , I realized Bigger is not better , this is all you really need
    a pvc cap and a screw Not too long and some chicken plucking fingers , I baught on ebay I didnt realize how Big they are , I wish there were smaller , photos

    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.

    They are absolutely gorgeous [​IMG] 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 [​IMG]
