Sold: - Even more useless than a Butt Out
Rummaging around barn this morning I found this. Bought it about 15 years ago and used once. Utterly useless. Didn’t pull a single feather out of a duck and shredded a pheasant If you would like the joy of owning such a crap item and see if you can do better PM me your address S

Out of interest did you put the birds in scalding water first? I've seen pretty good results with these online as long as the birds were scalded for 30-60 seconds.Don’t waste your money

The washing machine type ones with a cold water feed look very effective but a bit too expensive for doing a few quail a year.

I tried one of those drill attachments with no success to be honest, still best a steady pluck then show it a blow lamp twice over to get it a decent sight, or as previously mentioned de - breast or skin off, very quick and no mess.
Mallard I do whole, Canada's & Greys, teal, widgeon just breast out - rest is fox bait

Yes breast the duck....
Wild duck aren’t really fatty enough to get the sort of crispy duck from a chinese
Tried all sorts and still ended up with sausage meat with feathers in it or no plucking at all
I’ve used one on pheasants and ducks with good results on both, it’s takes practice though. Pheasants are easier than ducks but it does them both well. The trick is to get the scalding temperature right and with ducks especially you need to give them plenty of dunks, lifting them out by the legs quickly to really get the water against the skin and open the pores. The biggest downside for me is the mess. It sends wet feathers all over the place, not a problem if you’re not in a small town garden maybe. I ended up mounting it in a plastic barrel, now the feathers are contained in the barrel and easily cleaned up.
