ABSTRACT:
A shackle unloading device for unloading poultry supported in shackles by their hocks where the shackles are adapted to be unloaded by lifting upwardly on the legs of the poultry adjacent their hocks which includes a conveyor for moving the shackles successively along a predetermined conveying path while the poultry is supported from the shackles by their hocks together with a pair of spaced apart unloader bars positioned on opposite sides of the conveying path so that the lower end of the shackles pass between the unloader bars to be held against lateral displacement from the conveying path by the unloader bars while the unloader bars lift upwardly on the hocks of the poultry to release the hocks of the poultry from the shackles and thus unload the shackles.
