DL,

Good evening everyone!

I could use a mega cup-a Jo. I've had my GS since Thursday. He's almost 3, with special needs. Wake-up times vary - but, are always early. This morning, it was 3:00. I have him until Jan 2 or 3. It's going to be a very long week.

But I hope you enjoy it thoroughly despite the lack of sleep.

I needed to see the flapping part. I need to be able to end my birds suffering and can't always rely on someone to do it for me.

Yes! When you have to do it, no doubt you will just do what is needed, flapping and all.

CD is what I use for euthanasia.

What does CD stand for?

He loves the box and the dinosaur tastes good

Haha, but his name is not Siegfried (the dragon slayer) by any chance?

Thank you, Sally.

Cervical Dislocation

Yes.
Might have been a bit 'easier' for me, because I had slaughtered birds for meat previously.
It was a great relief to be able to put a sick bird out of it's misery instead of waiting for it to die.

I learned a good technique here:
Cervical Dislocation is shown in this video at about 1:00,

Click the 'Watch this video on YouTube'
ETA:Crap, it's 'age restricted' and I haven't found the way around it yet.
If you carefully copy and paste this link it should work:

it's the only CD video I've found that doesn't remove the head.

-Notice the slight divot in the ground under the stick and neck, this will keep the bird from being choked.

-Notice that she slowly stretches out the neck and legs before giving the short sharp jerk that breaks the neck close to the skull, this is key to success IMO.

I've found this technique to be very effective.

I do love having the cones. I am not able to do the hand as arthritis is in the hands to much.

Good morning Cafe.
Coffee is made.
Grey and damp here again.
I'll be trying to help someone overcome their fear of the geese and roosters later in the day at the allotment. Hopefully they will do one afternoon a week feeding and cleaning.

I believe it stands for Carbon Dioxide?

No. You should read through the posts first because they answer is there.

No. You should read through the posts first because they answer is there.

I stand corrected then
