At first glance, chicken plucking seems more difficult than cleaning toilets. The mental image of holding a beheaded, bloody chicken carcass while ripping out feathers has a grisly edge.
This is an outdated image, though.
I found instructions for building mechanical chicken pluckers, meaning a human chicken plucker might only address feathers missed by a machine! I have yet to find a fully automatic method for cleaning toilets.
With all this in mind, I'd still choose toilet cleaning. No messy entrails to have dangling around my ankles and there are chemicals that replace much of the scrubbing associated with toilet cleaning. Toilet cleaning can be accomplished in half the time as it takes to run a chicken through a mechanical chicken plucker, then remove the missed feathers.
The quicker one can complete a task, the greater the profit margin, assuming the job is paid at a flat rate, and not an hourly rate!

I think I would have chosen the toilet cleaning job. I think the chicken plucking job is way more stressful, and painful (those chickens will pick at every possibility), and even tiresome (try to catch a chicken!)
The toilets won't run away, and both are smelly, and with the possibility of being covered with poo.
Plus, the toilets are usually better ventilated than the chicken dens, so they might actually be less smelly (unless the toilet was used less than five minutes ago, of course..)

Dirty Jobs: If you had to choose one of these two, which would it be, and why?
You're offered two nasty jobs that pay the same amount of money and the same number of hours. Under these circumstances, would you take the job plucking chickens, or the job cleaning toilets. Why?

Tough one, and it might actually have fitted on www.conundrumland.com pretty nicely. I think I would have chosen the toilet cleaning job. I think the chicken plucking job is way more stressful, and painful (those chickens will pick at every possibility), and even tiresome (try to catch a chicken!)
