Feather Bed Makers:
Here's Your Man
FORT ATKINSON, Wis. {/Ph~
Ernie Hausen isn’t even mildly
concerned over the news that a
wonderful new machine has been
built to remove feathers from
chickens five times faster than by
hand.
Ernie is the world’s champion
chicken-picker. He can do the job
with his hands in three and one
half seconds. He’s 60 years old now
and has been meeting all challeng
ers for 20 years. He picks chick
ens by the hundreds just to keep
in practice. He’ll do it blindfolded
or wearing handcuffs.
Hausen dips the chickens in 164
degree water, quickly runs his
large, powerful fingers across the
wnigs, from the tips inward; does
the same with the legs, finally
peels the feathers back and
breast. Suddenly the bird is as
bare as a billiard ball. It doesn’t
have to be singed.
He tells of picking 1,472 birds
in seven hours and 45 minutes in
a contest.
