[QUOTE="greybeard, post: 1289175, member: 18945"] We had a chicken plucker when I was in ag class in highschool. It was just a rotating drum inside an open top metal box, with the rubber fingers on the OUTSIDE of the drum. Ya held the chcken by it's legs, and lowered it down to the drum till the rubber fingers started whipping the feathers off, but you had to keep the carcass moving around or the fingers would tear the skin too. The rubber fingers looked to me like short (2-4") strips of rubber tires about 1/2" square. That, was 1967 or 11966 so I'm sure they have changed. You could only do one bird at a time--I don't remember anyone bringing turkeys in to process. [/QUOTE]
