We were sitting around last night at supper discussing the finer points of killing a chicken. It seemed everyone had a different method. What's yours.
I personally cut out the corner of a burlap bag, stick the head and neck through it, stretcing out the neck between two nails.
After the deed is done, chop, I point the bird away from me no fuss no muss.
Twisting (?) never tried. Seems to cruel.

Re: Twist of Chop
Wed, January 26, 2005 - 3:54 PMI can't help but believe the quick twist to be less stressful for the bird than being wrestled into a sack, having her neck stretched, waving that hatchet at her while muttering "redrum, redrum", etc...but then I always tend toward the lo-tech solution.

Re: Twist of Chop
Thu, April 21, 2005 - 7:51 PMhold thier feet step on thier head and give a good yank, then toss the body away from you and let it flop till the blood is gone. as fortune would have it, i name mine too, that makes killing them a last resort (only if i'm really really really hungry, and all other food resorces are exhausted)
