Yardbird 21833 Chicken Plucker - 1.5 HP, 20-inch Drum, 110 Fingers, Integrated Irrigation

Overview

The Yardbird 21833 Chicken Plucker is built to simplify backyard processing with a focus on speed, cleanliness, and safety. A rugged 1.5 HP motor drives a wide 20-inch stainless steel drum that spins at 300 RPM, helping feathers and debris release from properly scalded birds. The device uses 110 natural rubber fingers that are gentle on skin and meat, aiming to reduce tearing while removing feather residue in one smooth pass.

Designed for real-world use, the plucker includes an integrated irrigation ring that connects to a standard garden hose. This feature helps flush feathers down the feather chute and into a collection bucket, keeping the workspace clearer and reducing manual cleanup. When the job is done, a simple rinse of the food-grade drum and a quick roll away on built-in transport wheels makes storage straightforward.
