Or you can do and grab by comb with mouth n bite down till it stops screaming n struggling. I did both n one rooster seeing me do to other ornary ones, bows to me. rest as they weren't good protectors or providers for hens n chicks, where this one kills or chases as far as can anything threatening his family that's also woman of house (poor ups guywas mauled by him leading chooks n scovy ducks).
