Hello again,
We bought a bunch of chickens about 2 weeks ago, 70 Cornish crosses (meat chickens) and 14 egg layers.
Call me a prepper, or a doomsdayer, but meat prices were getting high and I guess we're bored.
The meat chickens are suppose to get to 6 pounds in 6 weeks. They are growing fast.
We are going to kill 5-10 meat chickens a week and I wasn't looking forward to plucking that many chickens at once. So of course, time to look on Youtube.
I found people making chicken pluckers (de-feather). So I said why not.
I already had a DC motor and I just made a 24v batter for my Kweld spot welder, so time to get to work.
I got a few questions though.
Here is the variable speed controller I am using:
It is using 2.5 amps from the battery:
However the DC motor is using 9 amps:
The controller is varying the voltage from 0-24 volts however those pictures are taking at the same speed.
Is the speed controller doing something to boost the amps?
