Hello, sorry if it's poor form to revive an old thread, but I felt the need to share this. This is a great solution for people who have to cull a bird and can't afford to pay for (or wait for) a vet. Unfortunately, I never took pictures of my helium chamber setup, but I did improve my method...

Helium definitely isn't for someone wanting to make a profit through meat birds, it would cost a fortune to do it that way on a big scale unless someone made a chamber that could retain the helium/stop it from escaping so easily. I'm pretty motivated to bust out a ruler and some graph paper, lol.
