Smaller diameter wizbang

[TrendSetter]

has anyone tried making a wizbang type plucker thats smaller than a 55 gallon drum? i dont really want to keep something that big sitting around when im not using it and i wont need to plug that many birds at once.

I bet you could use a 30 gallon drum but I don't think you could use it for turkeys. They say the wizbang does two at a time so a smaller one should be ok for chickens.

THAT is a good question. I have wondered the same thing myself.

However, you would not be saving THAT much space,,

And, I might be wrong (nothing new here) but I was under the impression that doing two birds at a time made the plucker work more efficiently.

I am about to mount the motor on the one I am building..

If you want to do only one at a time, why not consider a drum type plucker?? Easier to build and quite a bit cheaper.. I have plans for that kind also..
