Holdly Medium Size Chicken Cone, 8lbs Galvanized Steel Poultry Restraining Cone for Chicken,for Large Layers, Broilers, Roasters, Turkeys Up to 8 Pounds Flat-Back Poultry Killing Cone Easy to Clean

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.

We needed the cone to process 24 broiler chickens. My husband said the bottom of the cone where the chickens neck comes through was too small. He said it was hard slicing their heads off because he couldn’t get a good grip to pull their neck through. Our chickens weren’t an enormous size either. They were about the same size as the grocery store whole chickens.

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

Does what is expected.

These having been tie wrapped to a fence for months and they still look like new. My first harvest was over a rock and that is so traumatizing I decided I needed the cones and they really help. You simply grab one bird at a time and let them bleed out for a few minutes while you slaughter the next bird. Makes harvest quicker.

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.
