scraper substitute for processing

[FrenchHen]

Does anyone have a homemade lung scraper? Is there a way to make one so I don't have to pay $30 plus shipping to get one?
I'm only going to process 5 birds, so cost is an issue.

If you're doing five birds, it's kind of economical to just use your hand if you're not squeamish.

Should I even ask what the lung scraper is? I'm picturing some very elaborate torture device... lol

Evidently it's a useful little tool for cleaning out the chest cavity of a bird.

Aaah. I see. lol. What a terrible name. Pass me the lung scraper please. Hahah.

I always just use a SHARP, serrated butcher knife that is rounded rather than pointy on the end. I've also used an apple corer to scrape them out. What the heck, it works.

We're into things working. If we go in for meat birds again in the future, I'll probably get the official tool.
For five experiment birds, cheap is good!
