We sold a jersey at a sale in Minn a couple years back, but I didn't get to go up. Glad you found my little blog. Herrick This internet is a crazy thing ain't it. You didn't sound like a "crass commercial" and I'm glad you told everyone the story. I hope you sell some more books! Your right 9 kids and a chicken plucker is a wonderful sight to behold!

Yes, I'm the guy who developed the Whizbang homemade chicken plucker and published the plans in a book. I self produced and published that book back in the spring of 2002. Since then it has sold remarkably well. There are now hundreds of homemade Whizbang pluckers in use all across the US and around the world. My foray into agrarian self publishing has been blessed by God and I give Him the glory. "Whizbang Books," is the name of my little publishing company and my subtitle is: "Down-to-Earth Inspiration and How-To Informatian." For now, I have what I call a "Joe Friday" web page at www.whizbangbooks.com One day it will be a web site. But until then, folks who are curious about the plucker might want to check out the Yahoo group I started. It's called WhizbangChickenPluckers and now has over 1,100 members. If nothing else, I encourage fellow homeschooling, and Christian agrarians to check out the photo on the homepage of the group. It shows the 9 children of the David Eley family in Indiana standing behind their homemade Whizbang, plucked chickens in hand, with big happy smiles on their faces. It is a beautiful, encouraging picture that I think those who read your blog will appreciate, even if they don't raise chickens. I hope the link to the group will come out on this blog if I just type it in (I'm new here). Here it is: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/whizbangchickenpluckers/ There is more that I could say but I don't want to sound like a crass commercial message... just figured I'd add a little to what you said. It's nice to know a fellow "berry pickin', chicken pluckin', buck skinnin'" Christian agrarian like yourself. I continue to marvel at the internet. Best Whizbang whishes, Herrick Kimball Wow Scott,

Very similar to us farming in central Minnesota. We don't dairy, mainly raise black angus but seem to have similar projects, such as the chickens, pasture hogs and more. Anyway thanks for the good reading.
