Taht's all very well, digit, but I want one NOW! It's such an obvious idea though; why has no-one done it before? |

I can forsee a need for a full set of weatherproofs and an area that can be washed down with a hose after.
Interesting idea though...I wonder if I could use my strimmer

I will be ordering one of these when Arvo gets home tomorrow - we have three cockerels to do sometime in the next week. What a brilliant idea! | ||||

Let me know how it goes. I saw that in the catalogue that came with the BASC mag the other day and was intrigued. | ||||

Does it work dry? Or do you still have to dip? | ||||

As it uses the same fingers that the dipped plucker does they will still need dipping. You can buy replacement fingers for a few £'s. |

Chez: did you get one? Does it work? | ||||

I've had mine and its a simple bit of kit, there's a film showing it working on www.theplucker.biz and dry plucking works best. | ||||

Just ordered one myself, dry plucking will be ideal as my turkeys never fit in a container that I can keep the water hot for long enough.
One question; can the wings be done? |

Recommend watching the film - with the sound on. See how long you last before you get the giggles from the number of times the cheery American says "Plucker" - with emphasis - because that is the product he is selling.
Other than that, they only show the breast being done. It would be pretty heavy to hold a goose up to that tool. Be interested to hear how folks get on with the ones they've bought. |
