Description

The Yardbird Chicken Plucker takes the hassle out of back-yard chicken processing. Fully defeathering a bird in 15 seconds or less, the Yardbird Plucker revolutionizes what is typically the most painstaking and messy chore of processing a chicken which can take up to 30 minutes per bird if plucked by hand. With a high performance 1.5 horsepower motor the Yardbird spins a 20” stainless steel drum at 300 RPMs to quickly remove feathers and debris from a properly scalded bird. The 110 natural rubber fingers ensure that feathers are removed without damaging the meat or tearing the skin. Unlike many competitive units, the Yardbird has an integrated irrigation ring that fits up to a garden hose to flush plucked feathers out the shoot and into a collection bucket. A safety switch senses that the drum is attached before operation while a GFCI protects the operator from any excess electrical current ensuring a safe user experience. Once plucking is complete- simply wash out the food-grade drum with a garden hose and roll the unit back to storage using the built-in transport wheels. If you are looking to save time and frustration while processing your meat birds, the Yardbird is a proven product that can improve your experience and your results.

    • Game-Changer for Poultry Processing!
Style: Chicken Plucker
The Yardbird 21833 Chicken Plucker has completely transformed how we process chickens on our farm. The 1.5 HP motor is powerful and consistent, and the 20-inch stainless steel drum handles multiple birds with ease. The 110 natural soft fingers do an excellent job — fast, efficient, and gentle enough to avoid damaging the skin. One of my favorite features is the integrated irrigation ring, which keeps everything clean during operation and makes cleanup afterward much easier. The debris collection system is simple but effective, and the transport wheels are a huge plus for moving it around the yard or barn. If you're processing poultry regularly, this machine is a must-have. It saves time, reduces manual labor, and delivers professional results. Highly recommended! We processed 8 roosters in 2 hours with the help of this plucker. ... show more

    • Yardbird landed on my porch
Style: Chicken Plucker
Review Image by AR AR
Review Image by AR AR
The Yardbird landed on my porch unlike other pluckers that are only delivered curbside with a truck or lift gate. The box looked like it had been through a war but the product was in good condition. There was a small ding in the fan cover on the motor so I contacted Yardird and they sent a replacement within two days. The unit functioned fine without the new part but when you spend your hard earned dough on an item you want it to look great as well. The Yardbird customer service is excellent. They answer the phone and speak English without an accent. The unit has some assembly required however for hundreds of dollars less than any other unit I was wiling to use a couple of wrenches to put it together. The instructions are well done and obviously written by someone that knows the English language. The manual contains assembly instructions, warnings, and even a parts page that shows all of the replacement parts that one could order if there was an issue. I was pleasantly surprised that there is a one year warranty published in the manual and there is a serial number on the manual cover that matches the serial number on the machine. I found this useful while calling customer service. Like many others I considered building a plucker. I looked at the detailed lists of parts that others have published to build their own. Just the materials ranged from $450 - $750. Also, you needed to be a machinist, a carpenter, and dabble at being an electrician to get it all together. To put this in perspective I researched purchasing a 1.5 H.P. washdown grade motor and the motor cost as much as this entire machine. This unit is a performer. With 1.5 H.P. and no belt slippage this thing can easily handled two seven pound birds. It's advertised rating is two eight pound birds and I believe that it can handle it. It is advertised as completely plucking two birds in 15 seconds. This is also accurate. If you are familiar with plucking by hand or with one of those external drum pluckers that throws the feathers everywhere this product will speed up the operation substantially. The secret is in the scald just as all other plucker users and reviewers have mentioned. When you are processing and forget to turn the scalder burner off you will get a couple of chickens with ripped skin. I also had a couple of birds with broken knee joints however the next step is to cut the foot off at the knee so this is not a deal breaker. The drive train is completely sealed and maintenance free (says the manual). We will see if it stands the test of time but it appears to be very solid especially in the drive train (motor, gearbox, and output shaft). After butchering the machine can be cleaned by releasing the latches on the tub. There is a nifty safety switch that does not allow the machine to operate without the stainless tub in place. My only complaint is that the on/off switch is a bit hidden from sight. Once a few birds are processed finding the switch is second nature but it takes some practice. All in all this product works and does exactly what is advertised. I would recommend this to a friend. ... show more

    • Good budget chicken plucker for home use
Style: Chicken Plucker
Works good with cornish cross chickens it works ok with red rangers but leaves a few more feathers. Had to replace fingers near end of second year due to cracking and breaking off. GFCI module got wet during second year of use and quit working. Motor sometimes just hums when starting and doesn't spin. I have to spin by hand when it happens but it will still run. I have been reasonably happy with this machine but seems to need a lot of maintenance to keep working for no more than we use it. I'll tear into the motor start circuit when were done this year no time now got process chickens. Beats hand plucking for sure and easy enough for anyone to use. Easy clean up with the removable drum. My expectations were reasonable since I did buy the least expensive one I could find. We pluck about 150 birds per year. Works ok with turkeys up to around 25 lbs live weight larger than that is more difficult to manage. Works with ducks but more hand plucking is necessary. Overall I'm ok with this unit it gets the job done. ... show more

    • Works great!
Style: Chicken Plucker
Came on time and in great shape. It was pretty easy to assemble the directions could be a little better tho. I didn't have any problem getting the one finger installed that everyone complained about and I'm literally a 5ft 4 In small women. After making sure the two arrows on the side were lined up and the power cord was safe from getting wet I went to work. The box says done in 15 seconds! Let me tell you for me about 7 seconds is the max it took to clean a bird. I say clean bc they were clean. Maybe one or two feathers were left and the skin and bones were not damaged if left in for 7 seconds I found the 15 seconds will break a bone or rip the skin. I processed 10 chickens from start to finish alone in about two hours and most of that time was walking from the coop to the plucker witch is around 200 yards apart for each bird. I would imagine two people could easily process 50 in that time maybe more if you got down to business after you have everything set up ready to go. Cleaning it was pretty simple soap and water and a hose worked just fine and took maybe 5 mins. Over all I 100% feel like this was money well spent if it holds up. This has saved so much time and if it holds up is a game changer for me my family and my friends who refuse to buy chicken from factory farm situations. It makes the job so much more satisfying and I don't have that dreaded feeling about the work it takes to process chickens now. That alone makes me want to help more people learn to raise their own meat share the meat I raised and cut back on the store bought mystery chicken so many people are left as the only option. I work 6 days a week 10 hrs a day and finding time to feed water etc is hard but finding time to process was a chore but now I can cut that time down so much that it's something I don't even worry about. Like I said total game changer if it holds up. ... show more
