An apparatus for breaking the neck and making a transverse incision in the skin of the neck of a fowl, which is hanging by the legs from a shackle of an overhead conveyor. The apparatus has a plurality of working units diposed for rotation about a vertical central shaft in synchronization with the overhead conveyor. Each working unit has a slide block slidably mounted on a pair of vertical slide bars. The slide block supports an axially movable rod extending radially outwards from the slide block and is provided with a transversely extending blade for catching the neck of a passing fowl and pulling the neck against the slide block, thereby breaking the neck and making the incision in the skin thereof.
