Wow, that bird was so much cleaner then when we hand pluck. We are defiantly going to need one for the broilers.

The whizbang looks good but it costs just as much to build and a new plucker.
Plus it's huge. I have no room to store something like that.

This is me when I lived down in Georgia:

If you need a place to store it, we always have the room, I would think the washing machine one would be just as big, but probably cheaper to make because we'll probably have most of the supplies with that, plus Krisin's husband can get us some stuff.

What did you mean by the bungee cords? how did they do them? i can get them cheap.

We should make a few of them, and we have that exact drill too.

I believe that I could use that on the tub awesome. Its worth a try don't see why it wouldn't work. Now i need a tub.

It's too bad we all couldn't go in financially to build a whiz-bang and then share it.. It looks like it would fit in the back of a truck to go from place to place.
My husband and I were just talking about how we're going to raise a batch of meaties every year and just the thought of having to hand pluck all those birds makes me sick LOL

Alternatively, if you guys make some of the drill ones and they come out good I'd like to buy one from whoever is going to make them!
