[QUOTE="2busy, post: 3550167, member: 12213"] We both know there are people out there that would be interested. Obviously not on a gun forum. If people have watched any homesteading channels on the internet then they would be aware there are people that do things similar to this already. I think it will be a hard sale. Since the people that are interested in a home grown chicken may already be raising there own. From what I have seen, they might not have the funds to purchase a plucker. I built my own 10 years ago and then I purchased a tractor supply one a couple years ago. I have not used the purchased one yet. Lots of bad reviews on them but I have modified mine and plan to put an elbow on the drain to further direct the water /feathers farther away from the motor. For a small flock a simple turkey fryer and burner will work for a scalder. Slow as it might be, it will get the job done. another possibility would be to sell them the chicken and offer your services to process them for X amount a bird. You might have to set a minimum to be worth the time and labor plus cleanup of your equipment. You would still not be selling processed food. But liability has already been brought up. You can't control what happens to the bird once it leaves your place. [/QUOTE]
