Ok, I really was not sure where to post this but have always found open minded, practical people in the Meat Birds section so here goes.
I collect curiosities and over the years have cleaned skulls from some of the birds I've raised with great results (from goose down to quail). Now I'm going into fall with too many Millie Fluer bantam roosters. I'd love to try to taxidermy one. Usually use the broomstick method on poultry but I'd like to keep the head on and skin intact as much as possible.
What's the best HUMANE way to kill a bantam so the carcass isn't damaged? I'm not sure I'm strong enough to dislocate the neck cleanly.
Thank you!
