Ending a life peacefully

Animals came from the wild. Didn't she say she was a rescue though.

Chickens have been domesticated and the wild has been bred out of them. If you release a domesticated animal into the wild it will suffer and die, it will not go peacefully and you deprive it a a good quality of life.

We are talking about domestic chickens I believe.

I was just suggesting that for the person with the chicken.

Your suggestions are very irresponsible.

I don't like killing anything unless I've tried every other option. It was just a suggestion. Maybe if you really don't want to do it yourself, take her out in the woods and let her loose. She might have a few days being happy in the wild.

Ok, um how to say this tactfully "DO NOT CONSIDER DOING THIS FOR EVEN A NANO SECOND!" That is not the way to treat any animal, much less one whom you clearly care about. But I'm betting you already know that.

If you know any hunters, the can help you end her life quite humanely. Us that an option fir you?

There are so many ways to cull. I couldn't do the broomstick method or ax method. I used dry ice in a Tupperware tub. Wrapped my little guy snug in a towel and cuddled him while he died. It isn't the best way but I'm a wimp.

Dry ice releases out carbon dioxide, unlike carbon monoxide carbon dioxide will burn the lungs and suffocate the bird for several minutes. I would not recommend this for a quick death but it will work.

 

[Ms Clucky]

What, suggesting Dr. Jeff is irresponsible? Fine kill it then. don't care how.

Definitely agree, cervical dislocation is the quickest and most humane method of dispatching a bird as per the AVMA

Omg. These threads are getting crazy! Either use a very sharp knife or an axe over a piece of wood. .22 bullet in the head works quickly too. Some of you live in a fantasy land.
