Is this like a charger for jump starting a car? where did he put the Red/Black clamps?

Im not sure what it was exactly. It was on one of the episodes of the F-Word. The episode is on youtube.

Actually, I'm not sure what it was,, will have to research. The device was put in the turkeys mouth. youtube vid here:

yeah.

maybe you could actually try. you could look up how to make a noose, then just find somewhere high, and wait an hour for him to die.

I just came across this post again, and I just wanted to say sorry for being graphic and crude. Sorry to the people who got angry.

What you seen there is a professional killer. It uses about 600 volts, basically zaps them stem to stern, stopping their heart, scrambling the brain. The bird pretty much never knew what hit it. Ive been taken out by 480 before, not by choice, that last thought through my rapidly diminishing consciousness was, im going to die. Pain does not even really register anymore, it's like surreal as you... go away.

My rooster Angry Johnny is so mean I can no longer go outside to be with my birds or garden with out him running up on me and attacking or just straight up looking at me, ruffling his feathers and then charging me.
I just can't bring myself to actually physically hurt him. I feel bad wen I have to hit him with my be good stick. I'm at a loss. Any suggestions?

I had to put a chick down that was doing so perfectly, then failed to thrive. I comforted her, wrapped in a towel for warmth with my hand on her, and put her in a large pot, I put a small aquarium tube from a CO2 tank from brewing in it, and filled with gas, it only took a minute or so she was so weak. I bawled, (sigh..and bawled) but, I didn’t want to see her trampled, pecked, or stiff some morning. Any access to CO2? Know any beer brewers?

I had a huge Australorp rooster that was a sweetheart and my favorite of the chickens, but he wasn't always that way. My dad got tired of him attacking with three-inch spurs when we went to feed the chickens, and gave me an ultimatum -- either we sold him, I tamed him, or he became dinner.

I separated him from the rest of the chickens and worked on taming him down. It was much easier to build a bond with him without the hens working him up. Over the course of a week I would hand-feed him, pet him, and sit with him. He began to tame down.

The second week, I would bring a hen into his pen for an hour or so and sit with them, then after a day or two I would bring in another. He learned that I wasn't a risk to him or his hens.

I was able to reintroduce him to the flock and he never attacked me or my family again. To this day he was the sweetest and my most favorite of my chickens.

I'd recommend trying it with your rooster. It's worth a shot at least. If it doesn't work, I'd go with cervical dislocation through the broomstick method. It's less messy.

We had to give away our roosters to an animal rescue league, but your great explanation of how you dealt with a difficult rooster is inspiring!

you can get co2 from vinegar and baking soda, ether works too, plenty of ways to put something down quickly and painlessly. you could also use nitrogen, argon, or any other welding gas, N2 would not trigger the CO2 reaction and burn as much too.
