What I didnt like about broomstick is taking the head off and it flopping flying all around spraying blood from here to there.
I like doing the jug because I can tell by the steady stream that I did it correctly and they are contained to one spot.
I like Peters method of the bagging them but I also asked on the incu thread about a diy and @Chaos18 did a great job of making a DIY holder like I wanted. I will ask him to post images of what I wanted, and he tested it on a test bird, didnt actually process her but it looks great for me to use instead of a cone, I had issues with having all dif sizes and them getting out of the cone and wondering around with heads almost cut off, Now I tie a TIE down strap between two trees next to the drive in the woods and hang lines with loops and simply loop both feet together hanging and we do three at a time because our plucker is way too big for just one chicken I got a turkey one and it eats them if you do them one at a time lol, you would have loved to see the first bird we ever put in itlearning always learning something!!![]()
You're welcome. Sorry it took me so long to respond to this.Thanks Chaos not sure why I dont have access to ovates this am!!

Its fine! you were hunting! we knew that!
....Is it really worth doing anything with the feet. I have already peeled them? Would they just go in with the other offal for stock? ....
Thanks for that. I scalded them and peeled them and found that the outer surface of the nails just twisted off, so they are all set to go in the pan. I just need to get some celery tomorrow. Do you strip any meat off them once the stock is made or just ditch them? I imagine the chickens will be happy to "reprocess" them if I can't bring myself to eat what is on them.
It's weird trying to recondition yourself to not being squeamish about such things. I know it's just a question of mind over matter, so I'll keep at it...
