The pruners will work as long as they are sharp.. If you have any question about them, find a small twig and see how easy it is to cut through it.. as for the remains, there are several different things to you can do... I usually dig a hole, hold the chick over it, snip, drop and cover.. You can also do it over a trash can or inside a plastic bag (although it's harder to hold the chick that way).. Hope you never have to experience culling a chick but it's nice to be prepared!
