Hopper Cocker Popper & Hanger

4/24/2016

Comments

 
Just finished making our homemade 'hopper/cocker popper' and 'hopper/cocker hanger' for dispatching rabbits and chickens and then hanging them for skinning & dressing the carcasses. Had a great neighbor help with the welding. The popper uses a method called cervical dislocation that is the most humane way of dispatching rabbits or chickens by dislocating/breaking the neck and spinal cord so that they feel no pain and have an instant death. Then they can be hung by their back feet in the hanger to skin and dress. We may provide video instruction/demonstration at some point to show that process. #growyourown #makeyourown #selfreliance #youcandoit

This is used to dislocate the cervix and break the spinal cord causing instant and painless death. This is by far one of the best dispatching methods. The left side is larger for rabbits and the left side is for chickens.

The hopper hanger allows you to place the back feet in the V's to lock in the rabbit so you can skin them and clean their carcass.
