Abstract

A poultry-handling assembly (10) (figure 6) comprises two endless conveyors (12, 13) arranged side-by-side and adapted to move poultry from a first location (15) to a second location (17). Access means at the first location allows birds to enter the assembly (10) one by one e.g. with one foot on one conveyor (12) and the other foot on the other conveyor (13). Conveyor guide means constrain the conveyors (12, 13) to present an open-bottomed V-shaped trough configuration at the second location, where the legs of the birds will slip between the two conveyors (12, 13) for engagement by a restraint device (19) and subsequent take-up by the shackles of a processing plant shackle line (20). In an alternative embodiment (figure 9), the conveyors (12, 13) are replaced by two side-by-side conveyors (38, 39) which grip the birds laterally. <IMAGE>
