[QUOTE="M.Magis, post: 1337780, member: 14175"] I finally managed to get this thing drug out. It was buried in the shed, and the bantams took that shed over as their roost so it was covered in crap. Here’s a few shots I took while cleaning it. it’s pretty basic. The motor is attached to a pulley/belt that the bottom is attached to. The drum doesn’t move, only the bottom. The biggest mistake I made is that I don’t have nearly enough fingers in the bottom. The birds fall in between them and then that jams the whole thing. There needs to be enough fingers on the bottom to completely support the bird, so they hold it up and lets it bounce off of the outer fingers which remove the fingers. We still made it work, we just weren’t able to drop the bird in. We had to hold them by the feet and work the feathers off. Still took less than 30 seconds, but if it had worked as planned we could have done 2 at a time. holding them also resulted in some torn skin around the wings, but part of than may have been scalding them too long. Let me know if you have any questions.
