Description
The Large Processing Kit (Duck/Goose) by Hatching Time is built for serious poultry keepers, homesteaders, and small farms needing a professional-grade, humane, and efficient setup for processing ducks and geese. Whether you're preparing birds for your own table or small-scale production, this kit delivers everything you need for clean, consistent results at home.
At the heart of the kit is the Processing Unit (Duck/Goose) – 3 Cones, designed to humanely and safely restrain larger birds during processing. The stand includes three ABS Plastic cones securely mounted on a corrosion-resistant aluminum frame. The cones hold birds in an inverted position to minimize flapping and bruising, while the sloped design guides blood into a removable drip tray for a cleaner workspace and quicker cleanup.
Next is the Goose/Duck Feather Plucker – X-Large (4–6 Ducks), a powerful machine built to handle larger waterfowl. It features a 27" food-grade plastic drum and is lined with natural rubber fingers that gently yet effectively remove feathers without damaging skin. Designed for high-volume processing, it can pluck 4 to 6 ducks in under a minute and features a feather chute to keep the area clean and productive.
Completing the system is the Stainless Steel Poultry Scalder with Manual Dunker – 26 Gal, which ensures your birds are scalded evenly for maximum feather release. With a 3,000W heating element and manual dunker arm, you have full control of the scalding process. The stainless steel tank is durable, rust-resistant, and easy to clean after use.
This kit is ideal for those who demand high efficiency, humane handling, and long-lasting equipment without the footprint or cost of commercial processing systems.

How many ducks or geese can this kit process at a time?
The processing unit has 3 cones, allowing you to hold and bleed multiple birds simultaneously. The feather plucker handles 4 to 6 ducks or geese per cycle in under a minute, removing feathers without damaging the skin.
Why is a scalder included and how does it work?
Why is a scalder included and how does it work?
Scalding loosens feathers before plucking, which is especially important for waterfowl. The 26-gallon stainless steel scalder uses a 3,000W heating element for quick, uniform water heating, and the manual dunker gives you precise control over immersion time for each bird.
Why does waterfowl processing require a larger plucker drum?
Why does waterfowl processing require a larger plucker drum?
Ducks and geese have larger bodies and denser feather coverage than chickens, which requires more space inside the drum for effective plucking. The 27" drum in this kit provides the room needed to tumble larger birds properly, ensuring thorough feather removal in under a minute without overcrowding or skin damage.
Does this kit work for both ducks and geese?
Does this kit work for both ducks and geese?
Yes. The kit is designed for both ducks and geese. The 27" X-Large plucker drum and large ABS plastic cones are sized to handle the larger body of waterfowl compared to chickens or turkeys. The natural rubber fingers remove feathers gently without damaging the skin, which is particularly important for waterfowl whose skin tears more easily during plucking.
