DITTO!!
I was trying to figure out a tool I could make to take off the heads while they hung upside down, I hate using an axe.

this is the tool. You put the sharp side into the slit in the roof of their mouth and the other part on the top of their head. Apply force quickly. Then cut their throat. It should let the feathers come out easily and the immediacy of it is supposed to be painless or as near as.
