<p>There is disclosed a method and an apparatus for suspending poultry to be slaughtered, particularly broilers (8), in shackles of an overhead conveyor (22), where the broilers (8), for example by arrival at the poultry slaughtering house, are placed on a belt conveyor (6), where the broilers (8) are delivered upon a rotating distributing surface (4), that the broilers are successively led or pushed outwardly toward a peripheral area of the distributing surface (4, 5) which has positions arranged to receive a broiler which preferably is placed with the breast side downward and is fixed so that its legs project out from the peripheral area, that personnel (12) placed along the peripheral area fix the legs of the broilers in special retainer clips (20) of the shackles of the overhead conveyor (22) having a part of its length running along a section of the peripheral area of the rotating distributing area (4). By means of simple technical measures is thereby achieved a considerable relief of the physically and psychically hard and monotonous work with suspending broilers in conveying shackles as the personnel may stand in a good work position and only help with pushing/sliding the broilers in position and fixing them in the positions along the peripheral area of the rotating distributing surface, i.e. one completely avoids lifting the broilers.</p> |
