best way to euthanize a baby chick

If I was being culled (they should have done it when they had the chance) I'd rather be decapitated or shot in the head than frozen to death or suffocated in CO2.

I'm just makes me sick to think of it but at least if I do it, I can make sure it's done right. I've spent the last 2 days cleaning her up and refusing to believe the inevitable. I was really disheartened today when the vet could only offer a solution to the chest cavity. She is quiet tonight so will let her sleep one more night and then give her peace tomorrow. I will try the vinegar/baking soda solution.

Did the vinegar and baking soda work? I have a 3 day old who is not going to make it .

I know it's been a long time but how did that work? We have a sick baby and I can't bring myself to cut her head off
