Yardbird Chicken Plucker – Fast, Easy, and Backyard Ready The Yardbird Chicken Plucker is built to take the mess and stress out of backyard chicken processing. Designed to defeather two birds in just 15 seconds, it saves hours of work compared to hand plucking, which can take up to 30 minutes per bird. Its 1.2 horsepower motor spins a 20-inch stainless steel feather plate at 275 RPM, quickly removing feathers from properly scalded birds while keeping the skin and meat intact. This chicken plucker weighs 80 lbs and is built for durability and performance. It features a removable tub for easy cleaning and comes backed by a 1-year warranty for added peace of mind. An easy-access ON/OFF switch is mounted on the wide handle, so you don’t have to bend over during operation—making it safer and more comfortable to use. The built-in irrigation ring with a Y-valve connects to your garden hose and rinses feathers away while you pluck, sending them through the oversized discharge chute for easy cleanup. With large transport wheels and an open front design, it’s easy to move and allows space for a feather collection bucket. When you're finished, cord and hose hooks let you store everything neatly for next time. Every feature of the Yardbird Chicken Plucker is made to save time, reduce mess, and make processing smoother from start to finish. Perfect for homesteaders, hobby farmers, and anyone ready to simplify their chicken processing. Add a storage cover and keep your plucker clean. The Yardbird Plucker Storage Cover keeps your plucker safe when you’re not using it. It’s made from strong, weather-resistant fabric that lets air flow through while keeping rain, sun, and dust out. The straps and buckles make it easy to put on and take off. It’s made to fit all Yardbird pluckers.
