Spyware and Chicken Pluckers

I finished my tub-style chicken plucker and have been unable to post about it because of some stupid spyware program that is on our computer.  I'm posting this from work.  If you ever see anything called "Winreanimator" come up on your computer telling you you have viruses and you need to by Winreanimator to clear it, DON"T DO IT!  It's a total scam. 

Anyway, I'm getting some Norton Anti-Virus updates to clear it, so we should be back up soon.

Hopefully I'll have pictures of the chicken plucker up.  We will be christening it on Saturday with the processing of three turkeys and 5 cockrels.  I'll be sure to post about that and how the plucker performed.

I'm still amazed that the building process turned out so well.  I honestly didn't expect everything to work right the first time I flipped the switch, but it works beautifully.  It's a testament to the instruction book that tells you how to build it.  It is very well written and clear. 

I'm already getting requests to use it from friends.
