The Meat birds are slaughtered at 6-7 weeks when you buy store bought.

Yes those are CX broiler babies. Like veal vs beef when compared to standard heritage chicken breeds.

Meat birds grow that fast?

Yes. Raised them once.

Yes and if you get attached and think your going to keep them as a pet it's heartbreaking. They are a 4 way hybrid terminal cross and aren't meant to live longer.
I did keep a pullet alive by starving and exercise. When snow came she got too big and died at almost a year.

I always had luck with the broomstick method. Quick, and it's cervical spine dislocation, so they're not supposed to feel it also brain death seemed to set in within 30 seconds by the looks of it from eye dilation/ movement .

Same here. I always broomstick mine and it's fast and easy. Low stress.

No, that would be terrible, wouldn't it. No names. it would have to be 20 or more of all one breed, and then just get it done.

Sorry about the one you tried to work with.

I also strongly prefer the broomstick method over decapitation. It's an instant pop, then I pin the body down over the head until all bodily reflexes cease

Decapitation features blood leakage and a poor decapitated soul staring at me
