I use a very sharp knife and cones. We just did 40 Cornish cross a month or so ago. Pull the neck through the cone tight. One quick cut with a razor sharp knife and the chicken will drain out in about a minute or two. If you have ever used a hatchet to do the deed you see their reaction? Running flapping all that. They will do the same thing in the cone. Lots of kicking, thumping, then, nothing. Make sure you have a quality knife and a sharpener so you can keep it in shape. Its never easy to do. Just remember they are giving their life so you and your family can live. Give them the best life you can while they are here and thats all you can do.
