you get the wax crazy hot above the melting point so it only puts a thin layer on it. 2 pulls and it's done. Never really paid attention to what kind of wax it was. My uncle was the one that did it for us and he died when I was 14 otherwise I would ask. It was brown colored so I doubt it was paraffin. Might not have been wax at all for all I know, he may have just called it that so I wouldn't be squeamish.

I'll ask my dad to see if he knows but I doubt it. He was never really involved in that kind of stuff.

Now this last post by James was on a new page so I did not see what lead up to it. I am glad you are only waxing chickens....WTF never waxed them. The cone thing interesting. We used to slaughter the ducks and chickens at the same time and I would much rather do the ducks. No real finesse just one person holding the other would loop a noose over the head and another would chop. There were five of us kids and it went fast. Ususally we did about 100 at a time. We would just pluck them and burn off the pin feathers.

Yeeeah, that's kinda what I'm picturing. After dunkin a few I'm sure it'll look real nice. Waxing a chickin just don't seem right. As for the burning meithod, I used a propane torch.

Any of you guys or gals wax dip yours to make plucking easier?

glad i read further, man i was gonna say this place has taken a whole different turn. waxing and plucking... who knew?

back to the subject (in hand), i have used both cone and the funky chicken, as for less mess and stress, the cone is the ticket. Eagle, mine at the time was sweet tea.

Just to prove I'm not hallucinating,

I did check with my father and it was a mix of beeswax from the local group my uncle was a part of and paraffin. The reason it was dark brown was because of being re-used. No idea why they did it but that's how they did it. I'll just take the chickens to a spa to get them relaxed first.

We never assumed you were wrong, nor hallucinating... just maybe had a kinda strange fetish thing going on... Not that there is anything wrong with that!
