Chicken Processing Station is almost ready!

We are FINALLY getting our chicken processing equipment set up. This is a bit of a new design with a fun twist... it is totally portable!

The whole setup is installed  (permanently bolted down) to a extra large sized pallet. There is enough space on this pallet for scalder, plucker, and processing table for 4 people. The only down side is that the 2 people on the plucker side of the table will be in the "splash zone" of the plucker, but they could always step aside for a couple minutes :)

This setup allows the whole arrangement to move around the farm as necessary with a single tractor load. All it needs is an electrical extension cord and water hose hookup to be complete.  The kill cones will be seperate.

All that is left to do is replumb the processing table for hand held sprayers. the old plumbing didnt make the move, so I get to rebuild it and try a new approach. The spray connections will come of the ends of the table instead of the long side, keeping them more out of the way and giving a better flow of the pipes.
