Lol :hammer

I did get a plucker last year. It is a smaller one that goes into a drill. It works ok, but not great. I really want a washing machine style plucker, but they are incredibly expensive. You can build one, then you get into where do you store the thing for 364 days a year you are not using it...

I can only imagine what the clean up of all that would be like . The smell is bad enough when you only have feathers to deal with.

Processed 16 this morning. Still have 4 more live on the foot. I planned on just staying with it and getting them all done, but a t-storm ran me in. I may do them in the morning. O r I may just feed them out and see how big they will get. One thing is for sure, I do not want any chicken for dinner. Tired of looking at chickens..lol
