    how to kill a chicken?

    thanks guys!!! I don't want the chickens to suffer. I have lots of upper body stength so I will probably try to ring to avoid blood, but if I see he is struggling or not dead at all then Ill cut the head off just to make sure. don't want the birds to suffer. first time btw, are home grown...

    how to kill a chicken?

    hey guys, my neighbors have 4 to many roosters and they would like me to kill them for them, they clean them they just can't actually kill it. I don't have a sharp hatchet, but could a machete work? also I have heard of ringing its neck, but that seems like it won't work 100 percent of the time...

    please help. introducing a baby chicken

    actually that gives me a great idea. my nesting boxes are about 3 feet up and connected to the wall. they are maybe 2 foot out so if I fence that off she can live in there for a week or so. just need to give her her own waterer. or use the one she's using currently
