Are these capable of lifting chickens and turkeys?

Easily. I have used these to lift everything from pork loins, beef loins, turkeys, pork butts and chickens. This is a well built piece of culinary equipment. You will not be disappointed. I am not affiliated with the seller.

maybe a chicken but no way a turkey also these did not work as well as hands in gloves to pull pork off a roasted pig - I gave them away

Yes,I just used them last weekend to lift an 15 lb turkey without a problem... they are very solid.. I have also been able to use them to lift a very tender 18 lb brisket off the smoker, if you have any idea what kind of challenge that is...

Chickens-absolutely. I believe they could also lift a small turkey. The surface area including the prongs measures 8.5cm x 12cm (3 1/3 inches x 4 3/4 inches).

Yes, if they're relatively small. Any chickens bigger than 3.25 lbs might fit if they are cut into pieces.

Yes, I have used them for roasting a turkey in the oven and on a rotisserie. They are a must have in every kitchen!

These work great. Our chickens have been using them for several months now with no issues.

Yes, but not so much as to be problematic. They will flex and are great for scraping. They're yielding, but not wimpy.

No - I don't believe that Norpro would work on a turkey that big. I have used it for 6 lbs chickens and that is about as big as I would go.

No. They are plastic and would be insufficient to pull that kind of weight.

Don't think so. It's for more light weight stuff like; a couple of whole chickens...that's about it

Unfortunately the answer is not likely. This motor will turn a 100lb load that is very well balanced. That being said a pig is inherently not well balanced so I would recommend no larger than 80lbs. for a pig. 100 pounds for a turkey, chicken, etc.

They would cut chicken bones or turkey bones with ease. That is what we bought them for and use them for. Only problem we encountered is that in use, the handles get slippery, making them difficult to use. Adding some split vinyl tubing over the handles solved this problem.

That's the one I purchased, and have used it on both very large turkeys and small chickens. It has worked well on both.

i have done 3 chickens at once weighting about 3 lbs each, no problems. 15 lb turkey turned ok but used battery power quickly.I wouldn't go over 20 lbs on machine, just a little to much pressure on gears.

I've been using these Messermeister shears to cut through breast bones, wing and leg joints and just about every part of the chicken but I wouldn't expect it to be easy to cut through the leg/thigh bone transversely. I would think that for that one would need some other kind of tool other than poultry sheers.

I don't think so, but i"m not sure. The chickens I've known are pretty aggressive and pushy and could push their way in or under.

I doubt it. They are not that strong. That explains the low price. You should really invest in poultry sheers if you plan on using it a lot.

You should be able to but you'll still feel a little heat so you can't hold it too long. I've transferred a couple of pork shoulders from my smoker without any problem. I've also transferred whole chickens, roast beefs, and smoke ribs so I don't think lifting a turkey would be a problem.

This model worked wonderful for meat chickens (2-3 at a time). However when we tried a 23 pound turkey it did not work well at all, we ended up plucking it by hand.
