Butchering chickens..THIS AIN'T OUR FIRST TIME...watch and learn!
What happens here
Ensure the processing area has an electrical outlet with Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter (GFCI) protection. This is critical for safety when working with water and electricity. The plucker requires running water to continuously rinse feathers and prevent clogging. Remove any unnecessary components from the scalding pot, such as internal baskets or handles, that might impede the process. The presenter removes a handle from the pan, noting it gets in the way during processing.
Goal: Ensure safe and efficient operation of plucker and scalder
