CHICKEN PLUCKER from a WASHING MACHINE?!

It wasn't easy, but we did it! Here's what you need to know before you make a chicken plucker from a washing machine.

Hi there! 👋🏻 We live on a 1-acre farm right in the middle of the busy city of Phoenix, Arizona! Our names are Kevin & DaNelle, and we moved here in 2009, when our kids Ethan & Lydia were just 6 & 4 years old 🥰 Over the years we've raised goats for milk, chickens for eggs, built a fish/swim pond, planted fruit & nut trees, and grew a large garden full of veggies. We've also raised a bunch of other animals like pigs, sheep, turkeys, geese, peacocks, and more!

Now that our kids are away at college, we have settled into doing what we love most -- which is raising & breeding goats ethically to improve genetics. But don't worry, we'll forever love our goofy pet goats like Luna the herd queen & Willow the stump lover. We also still love raising chickens for eggs, gardening, tending to the fruit & nut trees, and growing fish in the pond. We use the fresh goat's milk to make cheese, butter, yogurt -- and we use that + everything else we harvest on our little farm to make delicious meals. Having a getaway from the busy world right in our backyard brings so much joy to us each day, and we hope it brings some to you, too. 🥰

Guy was not thrilled on reminiscing about building that damn thing twice. You live and learn! Love the ingenuity

Rewatching old videos in this quarantine so I know this is old lol but idea for Kevin’s crafts the inner metal bin from the washing machine with the holes my dad uses as a portable bonfire just have to add some metal legs to the bottom. Just an idea for anyone who might see this.

that plucker is no joke. kevin's awesome.

[therealTanzanian]

This is what I needed to see today! GREAT INGINUITY!

[chadupdyke]

He makes it sound so easy. But also Kevin is an engineer. Lol

[jacksonroad]

Thanks for sharing the tips. Didn't know about the Inner tube👍

[MonteTurner]

Don't throw the inner metal tub out...they make great fire pits!

[leopanganiban]

Can you thoroughly clean the inside after use?

[albanymtnlife]

could you list items needed to make the chicken plucker?

[rocksofoffence.righteousam]

Wait a minute, she said 'phucker' 😂😂😂

[ZRanger]

Great Video. Thanks for the video and Tips... You have saved me 10 hours at least. Thank you.

When I did my turkeys this year (4) I dry plucked them by hand and it wasn't that hard!, but still a lot of work. I cut the wing tips off of the birds because there isn't a lot of meat on them so it's just not worth the effort to pull the wing tip feathers out. I did (15) chickens a couple of years ago by hand and I said I would never do that again ) : just too much work, I am going to have to get a machine if I do a lot of birds?.

[TamaraBell]

hhmm we're not certain if we're going to try building this or for the vid though!

[tommycobbler]

How well would this work for ducks geese and turkeys

[garyvee]

Gee..., that looks real safe aswell! ...., and after 20hrs labour and STILL had to buy parts..., I will go to work for 20hrs and buy a brand new one. ha

[cherylgregory]

I skin my chickens as I find plucking difficult . I just rip their skin off like a sweater ( jumper in Australia )

[litahsr.]

Wow is that video glitchy or super editing lol

[gtasandman]

How many hours did it take you to build this fff i mean"plucker " lol the way it had sound.
