Freezer Full

CAUTION

The following pictures contain blood and may be disturbing to some individuals.

 

The last walk.

 

Into the cones.

 

Into the scalder.

 

This is the plucker.  Eric, Tate and Dad put together.  And after one little problem at first the thing works like a charm!!!

 

65 rubber fingers to help pluck all the feathers.  The bottom plate spins and tumbles the chicken around plucking as it turns.

 

From the scalder to the plucker, feathers and all.

 

Add a little water to get the feathers to fall out the bottom. 

 

And out comes a naked chicken.

 

Works GREAT!

 

The gutting and cleaning crew....say CHICKEN :)

 

And the large chicken feet and insides that we did not keep.

47 birds in just over 5 hrs, great help, a great time laughing and that equals a freezer full of food.  Thank you to those who took the time to help us out, sure made for a great time!
