Will the Featherman Gamebird tear the skin?
The Featherman Gamebird is the gentlest picker made. The combination of very slow RPMs, extremely soft fingers, and a thick bank of fingers – more dense than any other plucker made, produce a very gentle pick. Still, overscalding (too hot or too long) will weaken the skin and allow it to tear. Note: Shot birds and very thin-skinned birds like quail and squab will pick without skin tears when the scald is accurate.
