JoeD 24 Posted January 4, 2010 Report Share Posted January 4, 2010 Dunk the chicken in hot water (too hot for your hand) and keep it in there for about a minute get it out and the water would of melted the fat and feathers will come out easier. Hope its helped, JoeD Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Huntmad 1 Posted January 4, 2010 Report Share Posted January 4, 2010 pluckin is always easier done as soon as its killed, as the body is stil warm pluckin is made so much easier, if you have left it soak it in hot water for 5 then do, u will c a difference, always works for me.

cornishtrapper 3 Posted January 4, 2010 Report Share Posted January 4, 2010 How can I stop the skin tearing when plucking? depends on whot you are plucking and how you are plucking wet or dry,if wet i plunge the bird into cold water after ive dunked them in hot this stops the bird from scalding in the steam, if you take your time and dont try to pull out great handfulls at a time just try to pluck out a few it shouldnt tear so much, if your machine plucking i find it much easyer to pluck the birds the day after they have been shot or slaughterd Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Rod W 0 Posted May 23, 2010 Report Share Posted May 23, 2010 Pluck your ducks (Dry) soon after the hunt/harvest, Chickens are agitated in scalding water with a little dish soap added, 150 degrees fahrenheit, for around one minute this is also good for pheasants altho I don't know the time for the scald on the Pheasants I make up custom made duck pluckers called the Easy Pluck, please watch as I pluck a duck in my carpeted living room at http://www.pluckwitheasypluck.com I am currently working on Chicken/Pheasant pluckers with the longer fingers, I would like to DONATE a duck plucker to The Hunting Life, either to be auctioned off or a direct product giveaway, this will be up to the Administrators!!! Please shoot me an email and let me know what you would like to do, Thank You, ROD WHITEHEAD Quote Link to post Share on other sites
