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

RE: Auto Turkey plucker
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.
