RM44, I'm glad to hear you followed through with it.

The chicken flapping is normal.

I'm glad you still have 23 chicks! I hope you enjoy them!

We've broken chicken necks and then taken the heads off. I don't think they'd drain as well, but they didn't taste different to me!

Some rather thoughtless person has put a young cockerel in with my 3 chooks. I live in a suburban street albeit on Magnetic Island, Queensland.
We have a fairly good message board system for the island on facebook and I have had no replies from anyone interested in taking him off my hands.
The cock has to go. My husband has called him Groit - Get rid of it.
He's not fully grown yet. I'm favouring the broomstick approach. It sounds the least likely to go wrong and I certainly don't want this to go wrong.
Does the broomstick sound like a good idea?
Will there be a lot of blood left on the concrete slab?
Thanks in advance.

Maybe, if you pull the head right off.......if you just break its neck shouldn't be any blood at all.
 
I use the broomstick. I put mine on the lawn, on a flat spot. Sometimes I pull hard enough that there will be separation of head from body. But, usually that's not an issue. I find this method to be much less stressful for me than using a knife, and I don't have the dexterity for an axe.
