Plucking using paraffin wax **caution: contains graphic pics**

What a great post!! Thank you so much for the pics, I have always wondered about plucking with wax. I think I may give it a try next year with my 2009 batch of meat birds.

The paraffin sounds expensive, though.

If I recall correctly I paid about $5 for enough wax to do 6-8 birds. The wax can also be recycled (to a point). IMO this method was quick and easy for doing a few birds at a time, but not the best idea for any more than that.

Not too bad. I'd read somewhere that a block costs 1-2 dollars and you need a new one for each bird.

I posted that... it was a couple of bucks for a box of 4 blocks... one block per bird.

I wouldn't want to do 100 birds that way, but for three, it was SO nice.
