SuperHandy Chicken Plucker De-Feather Remover

If you've ever plucked a chicken by hand, you will know that is the worst part of the entire process. This takes a 10 minute task down to 15 seconds.Works very well as described so can't add much more to why you need this. However, I would add some considerations and things to watch out for.1) Make sure your scalding water is ~150. Keep the chicken in there until the wing feathers are easy to pull out2) The power switch is in a rough spot, below the drum. Not the easiest to turn on the machine while holding the bird3) Ensure you have water close by to run water over the chicken as it is tossed around the machine. If working alone, I have put the hose on top of a ladder pointed down toward the drum so I can turn on after the machine is on, with one hand4) Run until clean, turn off power, and then rinse off feathers with water that are stuck to the fingers.As others have mentioned - the power cord is rather small and runs past where the wet feathers come out. It seems very easy that water can get to where you plug in the power to the extension cord. What I have done is wrap a plastic bag around where the power is connected and to cover/tape it up. A bit of extra work up front but better safe than sorry.I would also recommend getting a plastic bucket that fits snugly between ground and feather chute. Drill holes throughout the bucket so feathers can drain out water in between birds without having an overly gloppy feathery mess.
