Medium Size Chicken Cone

Good quality, worked perfectly for our needs

It did the job, but I wouldn't recommend it for a full size rooster or hen that weighs more than 5 lbs. (3 lb dressed) because the width of their breast with wings made it difficult to get the body down far enough to get the head adequately through the cone. Will need to purchase a larger one for the bigger birds. We found it difficult to handle the head and neck when hung on a flat board because it lays flush with the board, but adding a 2x4 block behind the bottom of it helped provide extra space. It is easy to clean with soap and water.

Why did you pick this product vs others?: These cones worked well, however I should have purchased a bigger size. I had a couple of 4 pound birds that fit perfectly, but the majority of the chickens were about 5.5 pounds. These took a little extra effort to get their heads through. But the cones are sturdy and easy to clean.

I'd recommend for average egg layer chickens and smaller game birds, but these do not work AT ALL for larger meat birds. We tried using them and we could scarely get their heads to reach the bottom of the cone and then when they started flailing around after dispatch, they ended up getting out and flapping all over the ground or knocking the cone off its screws. Like I said great quality for smaller chickens and game birds, but not larger meat birds like Cornish cross. Happy processing! ✌️

Worked pretty good. Large or fat birds might have to be really shoved in there.

These were to small for our birds, which weighed between 6.5 to 7.5 pounds but still did a good job.

Last a long time in all weather conditions, no rust, works well, very sturdy

It’s not pleasant no matter how you do it, but this holds everything together as you dispatch your birds. It has those handy screw holes that allow you to slide it up and off so you can keep your inconspicuous screws where you hang it and then put your cone away after. It’s great for a backyard processing area.

Great for butchering chickens. Sturdy cones. Easy to clean

Works great, and the 4 pack is great for a small slaughter operation. Plan ahead, because these still need to be set up to a post or beam before your slaughter. These are good for heritage and Cornish cross chickens, but too small for turkeys.

Great idea! I wish I had gotten the small one- I thought I had medium sized birds but once in the cone we could not see the head. I will cut it and re-use... I just wish there was more info on the weight of the birds going into the cone. Maybe I missed it.

Convient à la description. A été très utile pour l'abattage de mes coqs. Se nettoie bien.

Did the job meet Chicken would recommend this product to any farmer or do it yourself?
