Hi everyone!! I've been reading this thread from the beginning and am now at page 415. I also read the new posts but am behind here too...Love, love, love this thread!
I do it the same way as Sally except I place the open bag in the sink and when it's done tie the bag up and rinse out the sink.
I've only done it for quail but would also do it for chicks if needed, oh, and I use a good quality deboning scissors as well.
Okay back to the beginning....
Quote: I hate to say it, but as usual OZ is correct.
HOWEVER.... (oz you knew I would have the however right?) I just discussed this with MommaB in PM, I think if you want to incubate you have to be prepared to do this stuff... There is NO good way to explain it either, it is what it is, either you can do it or call a friend or neighbor. At some point EVERYONE will have a major deformed chick and will have to take care of it. What is worse is putting it in a bag and just throwing it out or trying to suffocate it. Get it done and over with!
You can do it in a plastic bag laid out on the table or something. Gently roll the chick in the paper towel long wise, yes its head too, find its neck and snip as fast as you can with a scissors or I use a (of all things) deboning scissors. No lifting looking at it or anything its a done deal roll up the bag and go bury it. It IS THE FASTEST safest way to cull a chick.
