So This Is Christmas

Merry Christmas is such an infectious feeling I like to feel that way all year around.

So if you are visiting just before Christmas, just after Christmas or even here on Christmas day I am sure you will find something of interest for you and in the spirit of Christmas.

It may be said that Christmas is no longer a celebration but this must be spoken by people that have never had trouble closing their eyes on Christmas Eve in an expectation of what maybe left for them on the carpet under the tree.

I continue to look forward to the surprise on my Grandchild's faces to this day at Christmas events.

Merry Christmas - Merry Christmas - Merry Christmas

The Procedure On How To Make A Chicken Plucker

By Allyson Burke


There are limited sources of employment in the white collar industry. This has led to many people indulging themselves in agriculture. The most common practice in the field being chicken rearing. In the event that they are kept for meat, it could be very tiresome, expensive and time consuming to remove the feathers by hand. This led to the designing of a machine to help out the farmers. Due to its effectiveness, many of them have gone to learn how to make a chicken plucker.

There are many tools and equipment that are required to complete the process. Assemble them all together at the work station. Purchase and or borrow those that are not readily available from the local surroundings. Should there be any difficulty experienced while assembling them together, then a person with the desired experience is consulted. A single mistake could lead to the machines malfunctioning or even causing injuries to the users.

Since the process involves many potentially dangerous activities, it is advisable to have shielding garments for example gloves, welding glasses, an overall and so on. These will make sure that all the parts of the body are free from injuries. These shielding clothes should be put to use when using the machine to avoid stains from the feathers. A board cut to size is fit with a carpet on the sides and secured with small nails. This is where the motor is secured.

Get another smooth board cut to required size, and have four perforations on which the engine will be secured on. This piece of wood and the first are put together and the motor placed on its place. The smoothness of the wood must be a priority.

Design another piece of wood, six by seven inches in size. Cut it at forty five degrees on the edges. Attach this to the second piece of wood. Opposite to the motor, mount the electrical box. Thereafter, wire firmly the motor, cord and switch together.

The equipment is now ready to insert the fingers. This is done from the inside towards the outside. The holes in which the fingers are put in are made close together, that is if the cap is small. They are put far apart if it is big. This is done all round and all the way to the top. Make sure that they are tightly fixed so that they do not come off during the process of plucking of the chicken.

At the bottom middle part of the cap, make a hole on which the lid will balance and go round properly. Using electricity and a welding machine, put in place the rod on the engine. At this point, make sure that the welding glasses are used to avoid any injuries to the eyes. Thereafter, the collar is mounted on the motor.

Many people have made this a source of their livelihood as these machines are on demand. They have mastered the skill of how to make a chicken plucker and made it an economic activity. However, the art is easy to learn from those who are conversant with the procedures.
