ABSTRACT:
An apparatus for removing the legs from the back portion of poultry includes a processing station (13) for use with an overhead conveyor from which the birds are suspended by their legs. The processing station (13) has a V-shaped guide plate (12) for receiving the back portion of a bird and means for advancing and gripping the bird. The advancing and gripping means comprises a chain (16) with outwardly projecting pins (17) extending about chain wheels (14, 15). The gripping and advancing means accelerate the back portion of the bird relative to the legs, and after cutting and scoring by cutters (19, 25, 31), the back portion is torn from the legs to leave the "oysters" attached to the legs.
