Thanks for trying it for us! We'll be moving onto our homestead later this fall and I have been wondering how these work. Probably get one for Christmas!
My grandma (82) talks of her youth on her family's farm. They raised chickens, dairy cows, and a few sheep. She dreaded plucking and will be fascinated to know these types of products exist. I'll send this her way!
It's amazing that we live in a day and age when you have to warn people who chose to watch a video about plucking chickens that they are going to see a chicken get plucked.
I so appreciate your videos and cinematography. My question is unrelated to this video but I thought you could give me advice. I started a channel myself a while back, primarily to document our journey for friends and fam. I’ve been using my phone but it’s not producing great videos anymore. Do you have any suggestions for camera/equipment that wouldn’t break the bank? Thank you!
I appreciate the kind words :) most of my videos are shot on my iphone for ease and speed, but occasionally I shoot some videos with much higher quality equipment. But it's definitely not necessary. Not sure what your budget would be but for a solid budget camera that can get a better quality look when filming, I would recommend the Canon M50. It won't break the bank but will give you some creative freedom. But regardless of the camera you use, I would highly recommend getting a tripod for your phone or camera and then work on frame composition. Make sure the shot is level, has an interesting/not distracting background. Shoot some clips from a higher vantage point, some from a very low vantage point, change scenes/locations often (so the video doesn't get stale). Hope that helps! :)
I love all my chickens. And Foghorn Leghorn my rooster. Mainly Keppra eggs and my beloved friendship. What we're doing turkeys this year for family and friends. My husband even watch this video with me. He wasn't sure my question is will my turkey fit in a chicken plucker or do they make something bigger?
I was looking at the link and it states the weight limit per bird of 3.3 lbs and 2 birds max per cycle. I process roosters as well as Muscovy ducks and I need something that can handle up to 12lbs... Hoping it's a typo! Looks like the Yardbird pluckers has come design flaws that the Vevor does not.
Yes, the birds that I processed with the Vevor were between 9 and 11 pounds. The motor can definitely handle more weight, I'm just not sure how many birds you could stuff into the plucking chamber before it would be too full.
@@pitchkettle Ok thank you! I have no problem doing one at a time, I was just concerned about the less than 7lb total limit they have on their amazon page. Thanks for replying so quickly :) I live in Hawaii and need this thing to LAST because shipping is difficult and parts are impossible to get locally.
I would absolutely love for him not to did a jump cut of the actual plucker. I bought this plucker after watching this video, this thing is so damn violent it destroyed three of my chickens. Like intestines were hanging out after 30 seconds. Broken legs, ripped off heads. It was a disaster.
Quick tip, it says "review" where exactly do you use it to pluck anything? Call it "unboxing" or maybe "first impressions" but "review!" English dictionary "to think or talk about something again, in order to make changes to it or to make a decision about it, You didn't use it! so how can it be a review? Rant off, carry on with your next 30seconds of fame.
If you watched the whole video, you would have noticed that I used the plucker toward the end of the video and gave my final thoughts - as in, a review of the plucker.

@@pitchkettle Thank you very much for your advise! So helpful!
My husband n' guys I hunt with have a hunting channel. They are still learning and use iPhone and go pros. Go have fun keep trying!!
@@hollysimmons1177 Thank you for your encouragement!
Can I ask why you leave the heads on the chicken while running it through the plucker? Does it make a difference?
How has it been a year later?

The cat gloves for grooming works well for feather removal.
Good to know!

170 degree water? At that temperature the feathers should fall out on their own.
