To get a good scald, the birds need to be agitated in the hot water. Eli Reiff, the man behind Poultry Man, processed for years with a manual scalder. He used a wooden oar from stir the chickens, which ensured an even scald that is not possible when dunking the birds up and down.
If you can only afford to buy one piece of processing equipment, a scalder should be your first buy. Without a proper scald, plucking is a chore. A properly scalded chicken or turkey can easily be plucked by hand, especially if you are doing very small numbers.
