A look inside the chicken plucker used at Gnome Mountain Farms in Franklin, North Carolina, Sunday, June 27, 2021. A rotating base with rubber “fingers” spins the chicken against the outside of the bin which is lined with more rubber fingers. The rubber fingers pull the feathers loose. Water is applied to wash the removed feathers out of the bottom of the machine. (Joseph Forzano / Deep Creek Films)
