How do you cull a chick?

TayFray! :

we had one chick we had to cull. i know this is a little bad, but my dad said it was quick and easy so he hit its head on a rock, it died sudden and never felt it. We burried it after!!

I second this method, hold there legs and a quick little rap against our step. Seems to work good for me, no blood no pain it's over before they even begin to think about it. Breeding chickens, or anything else, definitely not for the faint of heart.​

Thank you all! It is a hard choice to make but one that has to be done in some cases. I appreciate all of the advice.
