It's that time of the year again.... stand around and hand pick 100 broilers. Boy, am I ready to 'mechanize' this part of the operation! Been looking at either EZ plucker rotary drum chicken plucker or buy the parts to make a Whiz-bang. (very similar to each other in design). I can 'pick' a chicken in 10-12 minutes, but these things can have 90-95% of the feathers removed on 2 birds in 20 seconds.

Anyone here have experience with these contraptions?

...now, how much to ship to my place and how much to rent? :D

Ha Ha. Depends on how well it works this weekend! You might get it pretty cheap! But if it does a really good job, I might be pretty protective of it.. I finally got ahold of a 'live' person at the shipping, and they verified it's in transit. My birds are so dang big, they are starting to Chuck Norris the shed. Good thing this plucker can handle a small turkey!
