Abstract

A bird is positively positioned in a fixed cradle and a motor drives injection needles at convergent angles into the bird's breast muscle tissue on opposite sides of the keel bone, actuates injection, and retracts the needles. Starting is initiated by the operator's hand which grasps the bird's legs.
