how to kill a chicken?

im not going to just swing him around, I'm going to make sure it kills him, and that he doest feel it for more than a few seconds max, if that.

It’s still a learned skill. Sticking is the quickest method with minimal pain to the animal.

Definitely are. Good luck with ringing their necks. That is more of a skill than just being strong.

Home grown birds do taste different, whether you will find it "better" or not remains to be seen. Many folks are offput by the flavor of non-commercially raised birds because they taste like, well, chicken.....real chicken that has developed flavor and texture...the older the bird the stronger both are....those store bought birds are processed at 8 (ish) weeks

Yeah, mine are processed at two years. Stronger flavor and I believe tastier than store bought.

Sticking is done with a small wide blade. Beheading is the quickest way to dispatch. You want to get the blood out quick because if you don’t then it spoils the meat.
