I have no idea what an Epilady thing is so I can't tell you if it's the
same.  An automatic chicken plucker is a machine that looks a little like an
old mimeograph machine, in that it has a largeish drum that turns.  The drum
has a bunch of finger length rubber "fingers" on it.  You plug it in, turn
it on, scald your dead birds and hold them close enough to the "fingers" so
as to have the feathers knocked off.  You must keep rotating the bird to
different positions and have to keep steady on the proximity to the
"fingers" else you get the skin all ripped or else you end up having to do a
lot of hand plucking for cleanup.  It's quite a site actually.  Feathers,
blood and sweat flying everywhere!
