Just had to share - lol!
Last time (my first time) I did not have a cone and tried taking the head off with shears......not recommended
This time I had this great cone and I slit the neck on both sides. SO MUCH EASIER and cleaner, and quieter. Still took me over an hour from start to complete cleanup but I'll get faster I'm sure.
I got this 18 inch cone from the hardware store, cut off some of the top, drilled holes in and ran leftover haybale twine to make it hangable. Then drilled 2 holes for a bungee cord to be attached that I ran tightly around the rooster's legs to further stabilize. Super easy to make and it worked great
I hung it on a post outside when I used it this morning. It was so stable and held the roo so nicely. Here's my cone all cleaned up and ready for next time:
