Me too, it breaks my heart, but believe me, I do it when there's no hope. I can't see them suffer along.
Putting a chicken in a plastic bag is kindof a long slow death. It may not be best for the chicken. I can't wring a neck either. So I get a block of wood and a sharp knife and a hammer. I also cover their eyes.
That's the quickest death for the chicken and the most painless. I call that humane.
I only have 3 chickens. We started with 4 but a predator got one
. As far as ending their life, A friend of mine raises chickens as well. He has done it for years and he also raises doves. When he needs to put one down, he puts them into a garbage bag and then holds the opening of the garbage bag tightly around the tailpipe of his really old truck. It has terrible emissions and simply puts the birds to sleep with carbon dioxide. It is VERY humane and if there ever comes a day when I need to put a bird down, I will be over his house to use his truck. The newer cars and trucks burn to clean and don't do the job.
I hope Sugar is holding up Mia.
