Ok, of all the things to do with a washing machine, this has to be one of the most creative things I've seen. Just watch.

I guess it would help if one lived on a farm and were used to such action.

I spied the chopping block over on the right, and the big bucket-O-blood beside the washer, lol...

It did seem to pluck that chicken pretty thoroughly, and maybe tenderizing it in the process. I guess chicken plucking is not a very enjoyable task at best. Are they normally plucked before they are gutted?
 
Boohoo! Take mercy on the poor little chickin.

Tears welled up in my eyes when I saw this. What a cruel world this is for a lonely, old chook - beheaded, beaten, battered and breft of its feathery plumes.

I want to sit that farmer on one of them up and down Frigidaire agitator machines.

Are you for real?

How else do you suppose ANY type of meat ends up on your plate without it being killed and stripped down to some extent?

I'm a big fan of free range produce as well as quick and painless kills, but I also realize that meat doesn't appear out of thin air.

If you want a good reason to get teary eyed, watch youtube clips of different nationalities frying/boiling/slowly killing live animals.....all in the name of tradition. IMO, that's cruelty in its highest form! Those are the people that need a ride on top of a GM Frigidaire pulsator.

BTW, I consume very little meat, going several month stretches without touching the stuff. I've just never been a big fan of it since I was conceived.

Well, I guess if you like your chook battered and bruised before it gets boiled or broiled, this is the ticket.

Pretty effective but violent plucking action going on there. Not the thing for sensitive types who prefer to believe that meat is harvested in a hygienic and non-violent manner.
 
Ugh

I've broken a lot of chicken necks and plucked and singed even more; frankly this video creeped me out. I can't imagine what that bird tasted like after being battered like that. Perhaps it wouldn't make a difference, but I just have to wonder.
 
Looks like it worked well. At the next booth, they were probably fileting catfish on a ironing board with an electric knife, also very effective. alr2903
 
Odd. From some of the comments here it is as if we humans don't (want to) understand that for us to live, something else (plant, animal) has to die.

Is this a new revelation?
 
Wow, it even seemed to make a chicken-y sound bouncing around in there.

So how do they clean the washer? Shop Vac?
 
Nothing like a dedicated and efficient mechanical aid to help one get plucked at the throw of a switch.

And yes plucking devices need to be scurpulously cleaned between uses.
 
Chicken soup

When they cooked that yard bird it was probaly so broken up and brused that it litterally turned into soup.

We raised chickens when I was younger at home living in the country. We chopped off their heads, poured boiling water on them and the feathers came right off. Of course they stank to high heaven!

Its a miracle I can still eat chicken!

That machine gave me a bad case of the creeps!
 
I think I rode in one of those at Six Flags...LOL

Me too! Love your regrowth or is that a hair aid on your head? Mine never grew back, I still look like a plucked chickin.
 
Well I was wondering how they modified the tub so that the feathers could wash away without blocking the pump... I suppose that they removed the pump altogether and that there is a big hole in the tub for the feathers to come out.
 
wow it has been a really long time since I have been on here, seeing the improvements made on this site I think I might be hanging around for a while, but to get back on track all I can say is that I have seen this done before,

there are a few steps before this process and they are

Kill the chicken by beheading it
soak it in boiling water for about 30 seconds or more just to soften the skin,
and now for the gruesome part

stick the chicken in the plucker to strip it clean of all feathers.
the plucker contains numerous rubber fingers as you see in the tub and from what I hear you can purchase a kit with a high torque induction motor, base, housing, and rubber fingers all for around $300- $500, to buy a manufactured chicken plucker will cost you double that.
so because of the U.S. financial situation that many people are in most farmers usually buy a kit to save money.
 
Sorry,

I couldn't watch the whole video. Which is why I don't work at a chicken processing plant. Can't you just hang up the chicken up and pull the feathers off after they have been scalded. My grandmother would also use a torch to get off all the pen feathers. Don't get my wrong, I'm not a wimp as I have helped my brothers skin deer and rabbits many times, but this seems weird unless you are doing a lot of chickens at one time.

sorry guys

This machine is how its really done. the machine is called magic fingers. the rubber fingers pluck all the feathers out. I have been through one of our poultry processing plants and they are much bigger and there are a lot more dead chickens whizzing around on overhead conveyors, electrified kinves, etc. Everyone has to eat...
