A Guide On How To Make A Chicken Plucker

By Connie Sears


Farmers who raise chickens would be able to relate when it comes to the difficulty of plucking out all of the feathers of the roosters and hens. Now this task is extremely hard and very long because if one would do this manually, he will just tire himself out in a short span of time. So if he would want an easier time with the process, then read this short guide on how to make a chicken plucker.

So the first step is to go down to the store and buy a big barrel or a drum. Now one should really consider the size of the thing because it has to be just the right size for the job to work. To check for the size, one must put his both arms inside and check it he stretches to reach the floor.

Once the the drum or even a barrel has been gotten, then the next thing to do would be to make a barrel holder that is made out of wood. The reason why this holder has to be built is so that the contraption does not fall over. In order to do this, cut up eight pieces of wood and try to connect them together in such a way that the barrel can actually fit inside it.

Once the holder has already been made, then one should now drill some holes in the barrel. After one has drilled in some holes, then the next thing to do would be to create some spikes that are made out of wood. Stick in the wooden spikes in the holes and make sure that they are all securely fastened.

When that is done, one should now try to create a disc object that is made out of wood. Now the disc should be big enough to fit inside the barrel but not too small as well. Just be sure that the disc has a little bit of space before it touches the sides of the barrel.

The next step now would be to create some holes in the disc that are just the right size. Now once the holes that have been drilled inside the disc, then take a few smaller spikes and insert them in. Just be very careful when doing this because the spikes will really hurt when it stabs a person.

The final task would be to get a big drill with a very sturdy and thick drill bit. Now the drill has to be very big and heavy so that when it is attached to the contraption, it can hold the weight of the device. So once one has gotten the perfect drill, then attach it to the bottom of the holder.

So as one can see, it is actually very easy to create one of these devices. Now if one would want to build this thing, then read this step by step guide on how to make a chicken plucker at home. Although it will take some time to build this thing, it will be worth it because it will save a lot of work in the future.
