The honest comparison

A Drum Plucker Does It In Thirty Seconds. It's Also In Your Garage.

On a full limit of six birds, a $500 drum saves you nine minutes. Then it goes back on the shelf and waits for you to drive home.

Repetitive work

Finger Plucking

One bird is manageable. A full daily limit means tired fingers and a lot of repetitive work.

30 sec / bird

Drum Plucker

Thirty seconds a bird, $500, an outlet, and a garage floor to put it on.

Variable results

Electric Poultry Plucker

Can be time-consuming, with somewhat inconsistent plucking performance.

Mess & handling

Drill-Bit Plucker

Can fling feathers and down everywhere, feel awkward to handle, and leave plenty to pull by hand. Stiff fingers can sometimes tear the skin. And don't forget the drill battery.

2 min / bird

DuckPluck

Two minutes a bird, $25, and it was in your pocket the whole time.

How it works

Three Steps. Two Minutes A Bird.

Scalding comes first. The two-minute claim is plucking time, not preparation time.

01 / Scald

Scald the bird before you start plucking. Dunk it in water between 145°F and 160°F for 30 seconds to 2 minutes, longer for older birds or heavy feathering. The heat loosens the feathers from the skin so they come out clean.

02 / Grip & Pluck

Grip DuckPluck and work it down the breast by hand. Densely packed fingers help remove pin feathers and down, making plucking easier. No drill required.

03 / Done

Rinse excess feathers off with cold water and move to the next bird.

Made for your kind of work

A handheld plucker for the field and the farm.

For Waterfowl Hunters

Keep it in your blind bag or at camp, where you can scald the bird first. No drill or full-sized machine to haul.

Blind-Bag Sized

Small enough to pack with your field gear. No garage-sized equipment required.

Why we built DuckPluck

Why We Built DuckPluck

We got tired of choosing between wearing our fingers out plucking feather by feather or hauling out a $500 drum that lived in the garage. DuckPluck is the handheld tool we wished existed, small enough to bring with you and simple enough to use after scalding.
