Here' s a plucker I picked up for turkeys. Place the bird in that drum with the rubber fingers and in two minutes it comes out featherless. good for deep fried turkeys...BT

Very nice BT!!Very similar to ours!We throw as many as 3 ducks and 6 quail in our turbin!![8D]

I never seen one of those things before BT. Does the inside of that drum rotate? I guess I don' t know how it works just by looking at it. Could you explain the process of starting that procedure for us!!

Paul, you have to heat the bird up in water 140* and place it in the drum , the bottom is the only part that turns, this tumbles the bird and the rubber fingers yank the feathers...BT

Anybody know where I can find plans to make one??

Also as a note a person may want to remove the flight feathers by hand and keep them sorted by side. I know arrow makers who use them for fletching on traditional arrows.

That' s a nifty product. I may have to look into investing in one.

Just take a shop vac and suck the feathers off
