Mechanical water spray plucks chickens under patent
National Patent council reports a granted device that suspends fowl head down in a frame. It rotates on a vertical axis while water pipes spray jets to remove feathers. Hot water at 75 pounds pressure softens feather follicles, then jets at 85 degrees and 150 pounds pressure finish feather removal. Also notes a seed lab finds 55,000 noxious weed seeds per pound of oats, implying 3.5 million weeds per acre.
