Default Plucking machine?

Have you heard of machines that pluck the game bird for you? They got to exist. There are big ones that they use them at poultry farms. And I have heard that in some countries you can go to a poultry shop and buy a live chicken and have them slaughtered and pluckedit for you in matter of minutes. Some small time chicken farms or game farms must have them. If you have heard of any, let me know.

This is what we use to pluck our birds when we kill over 10, anything under that 2 guys can handle by hand. Works well!

I have found one at Double R Poultry Supply and it appears to have quite a price but if you check they may have something your are looking for.

dont spend your money on one of those come huntin season I plan on explaining a techinque that I was taught by soutah dakota pheasant guide. They clean about 200 birds a day and can get them all done in about 3-4 hrs. I am waiting till hunting season to do this is because I have a hard time explaining things in words so I going to take step by step pictures, but I dont have any animals to clean so I have to wait until hunting season.
