French frogs

Poultry shears to the back of the neck, cutting off the head. I roll the chick into a paper towel and snip so I don't have to see. Then I drop it into the trash really fast and go cry.
I believe the most humane for the chick is often the hardest for the human.

I agree on the method and the results. Pruning shears. You do not need to break the skin.

Okay, how do you guys do the deed? I had to put down one at school last night. What's the most humane way?

Friday has a pretty easy way. If you'd like to know how I do it, feel free to PM

twist the head one time around breaks the neck and there is no blood letting . don't go two or you'll pull the head off .

Hello K!

 

[BYC910]

Thanks! I know there's not a high probability of success ...

that is not always true OZ I assist a lot . My dentist gives me old dental picks and what I do is zip for the chick by cracking the shell all the way around and wait for it to push out on it's on . if you hit blood stop wait a while as in a hour or so . I'm not as gentle as the girls . you want to be sure the yoke has been absorbed before it comes out .

Forceps work well, too.
