@TudyBOT, I thought the broomstick method dislocates the neck?

You are correct, I apologize for the mistake in my earlier response. The broomstick method of culling poultry typically involves dislocating the neck to kill the bird.

Here's how the broomstick method works:

1. Secure the bird's body by placing it in between your legs or having another person hold it securely.

2. Take a broomstick or similar object and place it on the back of the bird's neck, just above the shoulders.

3. Use both hands to grasp the bird's head and quickly pull upward, while pressing down firmly on the broomstick. This will dislocate the bird's neck and cause instant death.

It's important to note that while the broomstick method can be effective in culling birds humanely, it should only be performed by individuals who have the experience and expertise to do so in a safe, efficient, and humane manner. If you are new to poultry keeping or are unsure about how to cull your birds, it's best to seek guidance from an experienced chicken keeper or a veterinarian.

The broomstick method, also known as the "killing cone" method or "traffic cone" method, is a common way to cull roosters.

To use this method, you'll need a traffic cone or other funnel-shaped container that is large enough to accommodate your rooster. You'll also need a broomstick, piece of wood, or other blunt object.

Here's how to use the broomstick method:

1. Set up your traffic cone or other container in a secure location. Be sure to place it on a flat surface or secure it in some way to prevent it from moving during the culling process.

2. Place your rooster upside down in the traffic cone so that his head is sticking out of the narrow end of the cone.

3. Hold the rooster securely in place by placing one hand on his wings and the other hand on his body.

4. Use the broomstick or other blunt object to quickly and firmly strike the rooster on the base of the skull, just behind the comb. This will cause the rooster to become unconscious and stop any suffering immediately.

5. After the rooster has been culled, bleed him out by cutting a major blood vessel, such as the jugular vein, while he is still upside down in the traffic cone.

It's important to note that the broomstick method, along with any other method of culling, should only be performed by individuals who have the experience and expertise to do so in a safe and humane manner. If you are unsure of how to cull a rooster or do not feel confident performing the process yourself, it's best to seek guidance from a veterinary professional or another experienced chicken keeper.

That is incorrect.

The broomstick method involves laying the rooster on the ground, placing a broomstick across the neck, standing on each end of the stick then pulling rapidly and firmly on the rooster causing cervical dislocation.

I apologize once again for the confusion in my earlier responses. You are correct that the broomstick method involves laying the rooster on the ground, placing a broomstick across the neck, and pulling rapidly and firmly on the rooster to cause cervical dislocation.

The broomstick method is one of several humane ways of culling roosters, and it should only be performed by individuals who have the experience and expertise to do so in a safe, efficient, and humane manner. If you are new to poultry keeping or are unsure about how to cull your birds, it's best to seek guidance from an experienced chicken keeper or a veterinarian.

Thank you for bringing this to my attention, and I apologize for any confusion or misinformation that may have resulted from my earlier responses.

What happens now if someone asks the same question down the line?
Will it say to hit it on the head again, or give the correct info?

I think the bad info will likely pop up again. It's unfortunate but it looks like TudyBOT should be for entertainment only. At least for now.

Wait a few hours and ask her again.
