I thought your husband was a lawyer?

What was his previous job? :lol:

It just beats those feathers right off those birds.

Tracy, does it bruse the meat? Tell him make a shield to go over the moter, to keep water and feathers off and out of the moter. Make sure that it GFI protected. Looks like a good job, good luck.

The meat is fine! I think we saw two places maybe, where it got whacked a little hard. But all in all it is wonderful!!

We didn't get finished today, so we'll be back at it tomorrow.

One summer about 18 years ago my husband ordered a bunch of chickens - all to butcher. We spent one weekend, my husband, father, mother, and I and only succeeded in taking care of very few. The next weekend we rented one of those contraptions and finished all of them in one weekend. It went so much faster. The old way my arms got so tired of plucking they were sore and I was plucking in my sleep. The automatic plucker saved the day. You will love it.

Hey Tracy, Check that camera settings out. Most digital cameras not only have still photos but will take a few min of video.

I have never seen one of these at work. Just my Grandma and a candle.
