Title: Digital Scale
Post by: t_eagen13 on February 09, 2011, 10:53:33 PM
What type of scale do yall use to measure your birds? I'd like to have a digital one. Do you use just a digital fish scale? It would be nice to have a measuring tape on it also to measure the beard an spurs.

Lie Detector would be a good name for digital scales.  :)

This one works fine and you can't beat the price.

My birds are so big I usually have to drive the truck on the scales at the Co-op and than put the bird in the back and drive back on :-\

The scale I use was ordered from the NWTF site and has the built in tape. To be used for scoring a turkey.

Thats what I do when my 50lb scales bottom out.  The rest of the time I use my normark.

A Rapala fish scale very accurate I've checked it against a State certified scale and its money even after 4 years.
