Compact and portable with rubber wheels, it’s designed for serious poultry processors seeking speed, safety, and durability backed by US customer support and a 1-year warranty. ## 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. Review: Materiales de buena calidad, motor grande, dedos grandes y el cilindro es grande igual, yo la uso para desplumar pollos de 3 a 5 kilos, por precaución solo 1 por ciclo, solo de 20 a 30 segundos y quedan muy limpios Review: 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. ## Features - POWERFUL AND EFFICIENT PROCESSING: With a heavy duty 1.5 HP motor and 300 RPMs of spinning force, Yardbird can de-feather chickens, ducks, geese, hens, waterfowl and other birds in just 15-30 seconds following an appropriate scalding process.

A drum-sensing safety switch and GFCI ensure that the operator is safe and secure during processing. - SIMPLE DEBRIS COLLECTION: An integrated irrigation ring with standard garden hose connector allows for hands-free flushing of plucked feathers into the feather chute.

It performed beautifully. I had read a lot of the 1-3 star reviews and wanted to watch for the negative aspects of this plucker. I have used other brands (that you cant buy here) and they are twice the price. I had no problem plucking two birds at once but I usually only pluck one at a time. The plucker is never the bottleneck as far as 'processing day' goes so needing to pluck birds faster isn't an issue. I put a 5 gallon bucket under the machine where the feathers and water come out. (I drilled holes around the bottom edge of the bucket, this worked great). All I had to do was empty the bucket as opposed to clean up feathers everywhere. No more needing to stand and hose the spinning birds either. I read people were concerned the connector wouldn't fare well with the weight of the attached hose and that there was no shut off. I recently purchased an expandable garden hose with a shut off on it. This was the ticket. The plucker is way lighter than other pluckers (I've not seen another plucker with wheels) so moving it around was a far better experience than dragging the competition around. Other pluckers don't disassemble so you have to reach inside to try to clean them out. Taking the drum off made clean up a snap. If you've used other pluckers you'll know what I'm talking about. If you haven't count yourself lucky and buy this one. As a side note, I had a few questions about the plucker so I emailed the company. I got a fast reply with the information I wanted. They seem like a good company to deal with. ## Frequently Bought Together - Yardbird 21833 Chicken Plucker, Stainless Steel, 1.5 HP Motor, 20-inch Drum, 110 Natural Soft Fingers, Integrated Irrigation Ring, Transport Wheels, Simple Debris Collection - Yardbird 4077501101 Poultry Processing Scalding Gloves 100% Waterproof, Heat Resistant, Textured Neoprene Material, Extra Long Cuffs Protect Forearm, 1 Pair, Black - Holdly Medium Size Chicken Cone Galvanized Steel Poultry Restraining Cone for Chicken,for Large Layers, Broilers, Roasters, Turkeys Up to 8 Pounds Flat-Back Poultry Killing Cone Easy to Clean --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.nz/products/539951643-yardbird-stainless-steel-restraining-processing-kill-cone](https://www.desertcart.nz/products/539951643-yardbird-stainless-steel-restraining-processing-kill-cone) --- *Product available on Desertcart New Zealand* *Store origin: NZ* *Last updated: 2026-04-24*
