I'm on my own and don't have an easy time culling. Ever. Period. Full stop. I have to admit - I thought the freezing method sounded credible for the very young so I tucked a couple of day old culls into a paper bag and into the freezer they went. They screamed for WAY longer than I thought they should. Half an hour later, all was quiet and I opened up the bag. The tiny chicks did not look like they had "passed" peacefully. I won't be trying THAT method again. I still shutter when I think about what I did.
Some weeks later I had to cull a slightly older chick. Did the axe on a board method with her. It was instant. She didn't even flail/flop like an older bird. It was truly instant.
Nothing more to say.
