HAWK BROTHER Chicken Plucker 18-Finger 3/8" Shank — 304 Stainless Drum, Replaceable Rubber Fingers

This 18-finger plucker by HAWK BROTHER converts a standard variable-speed drill into a compact, high-speed poultry plucking tool. Built around a durable 304 stainless-steel drum and fitted with replaceable natural rubber fingers, it speeds up processing and reduces manual feather pulling. The design fits drills and screwdrivers with a 3/8" shank and works best when birds are pre-scalded in warm water.

How does the plucker attach to my drill and what drills does it fit?

The plucker uses a 3/8" shank that slides into most standard variable-speed electric drills and handheld screwdrivers. Secure the attachment in your drill chuck, tighten firmly, and run at moderate speed to avoid splashing and ensure consistent contact between fingers and skin.

• Compatible with 110–220V variable-speed drills and most screwdrivers
• 3/8" shank for universal chucks
• Solid welded shaft for reliable fastening

How effective is it on different types of poultry?

The 18 soft rubber fingers remove most feathers quickly from chickens, ducks, turkeys, quail and geese after correct scalding. While the plucker handles bulk feather removal, a few stubborn feathers around joints or wing tips may need brief hand plucking.

• Works on chickens, turkeys, geese, ducks, quail and pearl hens
• Two finger patterns (ball and ring shapes) for varied feather types
• Handles most feathers; manual touch-up only occasionally required

What materials and build features ensure durability and easy maintenance?

The main drum and shaft are constructed from 304 stainless steel for corrosion resistance and long service life. The rubber fingers are molded from natural rubber and are removable and replaceable, so you can maintain peak performance without replacing the whole unit.

• 304 stainless-steel body resists rust and stands up to repeated use
• Replaceable natural rubber fingers extend the tool's lifetime
• Welded shaft and secure fastening for stable operation

How should I use it safely and get the best results?

For efficient plucking, first scald poultry in appropriately hot water to loosen feathers but avoid skin damage. Operate the drill at a controlled speed, keep the plucker drum partially submerged to contain feathers, and swap worn fingers as needed to maintain performance.

• Scald birds in hot water before plucking to loosen feathers
• Run drill at moderate speed and hold drum steady for uniform plucking
• Clean and replace rubber fingers periodically for hygiene and efficiency

Who is this for: The HAWK BROTHER 18-Finger Chicken Plucker is ideal for small-scale farmers, homesteaders, backyard poultry keepers and hobby processors who want to speed up feather removal without investing in large commercial machines. It’s also a useful accessory for anyone who already owns a variable-speed drill and processes occasional birds — offering a compact, affordable way to improve throughput and reduce hand labor while keeping maintenance simple.
