Where to buy a chicken plucker/picker

greenspun.com : LUSENET : Countryside : One Thread

We would like our own electric chicken plucker/picker, instead of borrowing one. Does anyone know where we can buy one. I have seen the ones in the McMurray catalog for $800+. Yikes!! Is that my only choice? Perhaps that is a good price, I don't know. We would be happy with a good used one, or maybe you know how we could make one. Any knowledge would be helpful. Thank you once again!!

My Allied Kenco catalog has a small model that you furnish your own electric motor for $250. Still sorta spendy, but a little cheaper than some of the others. Their website is www.alliedkenco.com

Cabela's has a couple small ones, they call them duck pluckers but, they would probably work for chickens also. One fits over a garbage can or 55-gallon drum and costs $369.00. They also have a kit for one that costs $69.99, but it is very small, like maybe it would fit on a drill. Their web site is www.cabelas.com.
