Yardbird 21833 Chicken Plucker, Stainless Steel, 1.5 HP Motor, 20-inch Drum, 110 Natural Soft Fingers, Integrated Irrigation Ring, Transport Wheels, Simple Debris Collection

Used it to process 80 birds. Easy to set up, clean and move. Worked great and didn’t have an issue with it ripping or destroying the birds. Saved a ton of time. Had each bird plucked in less than 30 sec.

Materiales de buena calidad, motor grande, dedos grandes y el cilindro es grande igual, yo la uso para desplumar pollos de 3 a 5 kilos, por precaución solo 1 por ciclo, solo de 20 a 30 segundos y quedan muy limpios

I bought the plucker a few months ago but was only able to use it this past weekend. It performed beautifully. I had read a lot of the 1-3 star reviews and wanted to watch for the negative aspects of this plucker. I have used other brands (that you cant buy here) and they are twice the price. I had no problem plucking two birds at once but I usually only pluck one at a time. The plucker is never the bottleneck as far as 'processing day' goes so needing to pluck birds faster isn't an issue. I put a 5 gallon bucket under the machine where the feathers and water come out. (I drilled holes around the bottom edge of the bucket, this worked great). All I had to do was empty the bucket as opposed to clean up feathers everywhere. No more needing to stand and hose the spinning birds either. I read people were concerned the connector wouldn't fare well with the weight of the attached hose and that there was no shut off. I recently purchased an expandable garden hose with a shut off on it. This was the ticket. The plucker is way lighter than other pluckers (I've not seen another plucker with wheels) so moving it around was a far better experience than dragging the competition around. Other pluckers don't disassemble so you have to reach inside to try to clean them out. Taking the drum off made clean up a snap. If you've used other pluckers you'll know what I'm talking about. If you haven't count yourself lucky and buy this one. As a side note, I had a few questions about the plucker so I emailed the company. I got a fast reply with the information I wanted. They seem like a good company to deal with.

This thing works like a champ! I swipe excess feathers out after each bird and it does its job fast! Clean it thoroughly after each use and keep it out of the weather. Mine looks brand new still!

Great plucker. So fast. Does a fantastic job
