SPONSORS
Ardisam – Yardbird - Contributing Sponsor
Backyard chicken farming continues to rise in popularity, as more and more people desire to raise their own food. There are multiple reasons for wanting to start your own backyard chicken farming operation such as the nutritious value of knowing where your food came from and avoiding food that’s been pumped with chemicals or other unnatural items. The Yardbird Chicken Plucker was designed to bring that passion of raising birds for meat to your table. In the past, the only options were hand-plucking, a homemade chicken plucker or an industrial chicken plucker that is not very affordable to the average backyard chicken farmer. The Yardbird Chicken Plucker is the complete package and perfect for those who choose to do it themselves.
