    Most humane way to kill a rooster?

    I always had luck with the broomstick method. Quick, and it's cervical spine dislocation, so they're not supposed to feel it also brain death seemed to set in within 30 seconds by the looks of it from eye dilation/ movement .

    Are all breed "meat birds"

    Stew is always good and save the bones for a bone broth. Make sure to use the feet too. Not kidding. There’s a ton of collagen in chicken feet.
