Featherman a small manufacture located in the heart of the Missouri Amish communities have been manufacturing and selling high quality poultry processing equipment around the world since 2000.
They have perfected the design first plucker developed by an Amish gentleman which inspired the plans for the famous Wiz Bang Chicken Plucker.
Since that time they have developed models for turkey and wild game birds, as well as a gas fired hot water scalder and the dipping shackles.
The birds are first slaughtered using a killing cone to allow the carcass to properly bleed out. The birds are then dunked into several times in 145-150 degree scalding water to loosen the skin holding the feathers.
After the scalding the birds are placed in the plucking machine that will clean up to 4-5 birds at a time in 20 seconds.
The birds are then fished by cutting the head, feet and removal of the internals. A good rinse inside and out the birds are ready to be cooled quickly in a ice water bath before being placed in freezer bags.
