ABSTRACT:
In a poultry processing plant where birds are conveyed in a suspended series through the plant in a neck-down attitude, a series of bird holders are moved up an incline from below the path of the birds in timed relationship with the movement of the birds until the bird holders at least partially support the birds. The bird holders are then moved with the birds, and cutting implements cut the neck skin and other neck tissue and break the neck of the bird as the bird and bird holders continue to move in the system. Each bird holder comprises a pair of legs formed in a V-shape with the apex of the V lower than the diverging ends of the legs, and the legs receive a bird about its shoulder area so that gravity and the incline of the diverging legs of the bird holder tend to place the neck of the bird at the apex of the V-shape and to tilt the bird so that its usually arcuate neck extends more in a downward direction.
