ABSTRACT:
An apparatus for use in performing operations on birds moving along an overhead line in a poultry processing operation. The apparatus comprises a plurality of individual modules, each module including a V-shaped aligning and holding guide for aligning and holding the neck of a bird against displacement which cooperates with a projecting breaking assembly to break the neck of the bird embraced by the guide. The V-shaped guide is pivotally mounted to a support frame, so that it can be pivoted from an open position to a closed position, where it engages the neck of the bird.
