That is how the chicken plants do it, I have a friend who runs a Purdue chicken plant.
From what he tells me they are hung upside down by the feet and pass on conveyor to a shock device that knocks them unconscious, and then a automated slicer cuts the throat(all automated). I will ask him the voltage and amperage next time I talk to him. Maybe it is close to the same as a personal stun device.
I may be wrong on the hanging by the feet, seems to me it is actually the head, because when shocked the chickens empty their bowels. And the neck slicer makes more sense if hung by the neck. Seems there are a lot of government regulations on how to kill a chicken.
