I'm still pursuing this... I found this post from 2006 on the GardenWeb that's getting me a little bit closer.

"At one time I had a killing cone with a sharp spring loaded blade which would cut off the chicken's head when the cord was pulled. Set the blade, put the chicken in the cone, wait until it got all loopy from being head down and then pull the cord. No mess and the chicken hardly seemed to notice. It was a standard killing cone with a blade of a handheld sickle-knife-hoe weeder tool that was pushed down by a strong spring. Got all the stuff at the local hardware store and basically built it into a chicken guillotine. Might be worthwhile to make another one, come to think of it. It is much easier to decide on chicken soup if there is a chicken guillotine around."

I'm sharing this because I figure there are others like me, not raised in the country!
