Do it yourself low tech chicken plucker
This low
tech way of plucking a chicken involves pulling the bird through
the plucker box a few times to get the majority of feathers.
It still requires some hand
plucking, but Anna seems to feel like it cuts the time needed for this
chore in half.
Maybe I can improve the
design a bit for version 2.0 by making the walls adjustable?

If you get a chance or make a better version of the chicken plucker can you note the dimensions of wood you used and where you got the rubber round pegs you used for the plucker?
