An apparatus for removing the legs from the back portion of poultry includes a processing station ¢13! for use with an overhead conveyor from which the birds are suspended by their legs. The processing station ¢13! has a v-shaped guide plate ¢12! for receiving the back portion of a bird and means for advancing and gripping the bird. The advancing and gripping means comprises a chain ¢16! with outwardly projecting pins ¢17! extending about chain wheels ¢14, 15!. The gripping and advancing means accelerate the back portion of the bird relative to the legs, and after cutting and scoring by cutters ¢19, 25, 31!, the back portion is torn from the legs to leave the "oysters" attached to the legs.
