New chicks...one has no eyes...horrific

Wrap a paper towel around the chick. It will both comfort it and save you from having to see anything. Feel for the head and pull it away from the body. Sharp pair of scissors or garden clippers to snip the neck.

Personally I just put the chick on a board and use my pocket knife. My coons love culled baby chicks.
thanks for the advice. Ironic thing is I've been to war and I've been a cop for 22 years. I've seen it all. This is more upsetting for me than all of the other stuff. Makes no sense.
 
yep. I've been researching HOW to do this and all methods seem awful. Thought about wrapping her in a towel and backing the truck over her. Is that terrible?
I had to cull a couple chicks. I simply layed them on a cutting board, placed a chopping knife on their necks behind their head, and whacked the knife hard and quick with my heavy metal meat tenderizer. Though a hammer or rubber mallet would've been sufficient too. It was an instant clean decapitation. Quick, easy, and humane with no suffering. I would think running it over would have potential of complications and/or failure of getting the job done propperly. Perhaps have your husband do it if you just cant?
