i love my birds BUT i love to eat good chicken AND i hate the way factory farms raise their "products" SO i have ordered meat birds, 5 dark cornish and 5 light brahmas, ill keep one pullet of each just because i can
i will be raising them seperately from the rest of my flock so i have more control over feed and so i can maintain some emotional distance, and no i will not be nameing the meat birds! but i am worried that i will find i very tough to cull them when the day comes, i will likely either kill them with cervical dislocation or with a .22 round, i dont expect to have any trouble cleaning ect. what im fishing for is peace of mind, how hard is it the first time? will they die fast? what IS the most humane way to kill them? and what should i expect? any advise will be appreciated, thanks.
