POULTRY PROCESSING DEVICE Abstract of Disclosure An apparatus for transferring fowl from shackles carried on a first conveyor line to shackles carried on another conveyor line. The apparatus includes a positioning means for positioning the fowl for transfer to a transfer wheel positioned between the first conveyor line and the second conveyor line. The transfer wheel has a plurality of gripping devices which grip the legs of the chicken as the chicken is rotated from adjacent the first conveyor line to the second conveyor line. When the transfer wheel is rotated so that the chicken is positioned adjacent the second conveyor line, a rotatable wheel engages the ankles of the chicken forcing the chicken into a shackle carried on the second conveyor line. The second conveyor line is equipped with a shackle positioning device which hold the shackle during the transfer operation. After the chicken has been transferred to the second conveyor liner a slide block having a finger projecting outwardly therefrom engages the chicken between its spread legs wedging the ankles into the notches provided on the shackle.
