Chirping
I have posted a couple times about my almost 3-week-old chick who arrived with a leg injury at 1 day old. The leg has not improved, and it gets worse every day. It's been weeks of splinting, chick chairs, sandals, and rehab sessions. She is not growing properly and the leg continues to get worse and the injury more severe. So, after much internal struggle and debate, tonight I am euthanizing her.
I bought new pruning shears today. They are the smaller size that you can hold in one hand. I do have a pair of the large size, but they are not new so the blade is not as sharp. I thought since she is so little (probably the size of a 1 week old chick), the smaller set would work. I know I need to do it quickly and forcefully to end her suffering as quickly as possible. I've never done this before, so I want to be sure I use the proper tool.
Here are the shears. Will this work? Thank you for any help you can provide.
