The Rite Farm Products Pro USA Quail Plucker \u0026amp; Quail Scalder Combo brings together two USA-made pieces of quail processing equipment: a 4-gallon electric scalder for preparing birds before plucking and a compact aluminum feather plucker with smaller fingers designed for quail, pigeons, doves, and similarly sized birds.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe scalder provides adjustable heat up to 180°F, with 145°F recommended for scalding birds before plucking. Once properly scalded, birds can move directly to the included quail plucker, where 72 smaller plucker fingers and water from a garden hose help remove feathers in seconds. Together, the two units create a practical processing setup for quail keepers, breeders, homesteaders, and small farms that want equipment built around smaller birds rather than a full-size chicken processing system.

The included scalder uses a heavy-duty aluminum pot, adjustable dial control, LED indicator light, lid, and stainless steel heating element to bring and maintain water at the desired temperature. The included quail skimmer helps with lowering, removing, and stirring birds during the scald for more even contact with the hot water.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAfter scalding, the compact quail plucker handles 1 to 2 birds at a time, although the manufacturer recommends processing one bird at a time to help avoid bruising. Connect a garden hose, turn on the plucker, place the scalded bird in the drum, and spray water into the drum while the machine operates.
