Ok, I have a 7 year old hen. She hasn't layed an egg in ages. Her back end is so swollen (fluid), she waddles around. She can no longer jump up on the roost.

She has had a swollen bottom for 4 or 5 months, but in the last week it's gotten much worse. .She is eating and drinking, but she is very uncomfortable.

I think she will not last much longer, but I can't just watch her suffer. I am unable to snap her neck, or cut off her head. What is the LEAST traumatic way to put a chicken out of it's misery (when you have NO intention of eating it)?

Get someone else to do it, like the BF?

Thank you!! I've been youtubing draining videos. I was going to have a late breakfast, but I'm no longer hungry...lol. I will need to go to the pet store and hope they sell syringes.

I watched one video that said not to drain all fluid in 1 sitting if there is a lot of it, because it can cause the chicken to go into shock? Is that valid?

Again, thank you!!!

Yea works decent. I have one of the big old school ones in the barn but I took one of the smaller hand ones and added a long handle to it. Does the job just fine. I modified one like the one below.

Simple? No. There is nothing simple about common core.

That's a sickle. A scythe is a long-handled, two handed man killer!

If you take a sickle and put a longer handle on it then it becomes a scythe. That's how it works in my mind anyway.
