New to chicken killing....

We culled our roo like this yesterday. I held and petted him until he fell asleep and he just about didn't notice when I upturned him into the cone. He made one short cluck/croack before dying. It wasn't as bad as I feared it would be. He seemed calm the whole time he was alive. At the end he did kick about a little, but I could tell he was already gone.
Good luck, the anticipation is the worst part.

I still feel a bit sad when I pass the area I kept my hen(laundry room).

On the other hand I am already thinking I could get some chickens specifically to kill,because I think I could do it again. Thinking about it was far worse than actually doing it. I don't think I can do the cone/knife,but then I didn't think I could use an ax either!
