Hi guys I am new to chicken raising and just purchased 60 cornish x for meat purpose. My question is, Is the whizbang worth the money and how long does it take to build normally. Also does anyone have the plans that they can share or I can purchase from them? Thanks for the help. attached is a picture of the baby chickens

I just built one. I paid $200 for the feather plate, shaft, and rubber fingers. The wood, pulleys, belt, and hardware (nuts, bolts, screws) was another $150, and I got the motor, barrel, and wiring for free. Used it for the first time last week, and was impressed. I had to downsize a motor pulley because it was too fast and breaking legs. Once that was done, it plucked perfectly.
