witton 6 Posted December 13, 2007 Report Share Posted December 13, 2007 wow nice turkey is it easy too pluck them or do they tare quite easily i find when im plucking pheasents that the skin tares too much so usually just skin them. I found that to be a problem to the skin tears like tissue on pheasants when ever i try to pluck them Witton Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Malt 379 Posted December 13, 2007 Report Share Posted December 13, 2007 I used to pluck birds on a farm just before christmas when i was younger. I plucked that many, that after a week, I was trying to pluck the feathers from my pillows in my sleep! I found that the feathers came out easy, and the skin didn't tear to much when the bird was killed 'traditionally' but they were a bas**** when the bird had been zapped.

Little Lloyd is right they are much easier to do when warm..They were culled traditional way ..bled out and plucked then gutted.They were not to bad to do...Hardest part is getting sinews out of legs.Last two getting done Sunday before Christmas going on these three the last two are going to b 30 lbs plus.Me Missus has done them all for friends and family she got them late September and they took a hell of lot feeding Quote Link to post Share on other sites
