Well, my DW and I put our little Chipmunk (an EE) down. She held her for a while and then we covered her head with a towel. I stepped on the broom, and she pulled on the legs. It was over instantly.
I don't want to go into too much detail and gross anybody out, but on the other hand some of you might one day have to do this, so I should warn you that it was grosser than we expected. Her head basically detached, and there was some blood. It was definitely disturbing, but it's better to really pull and be sure that the chicken doesn't suffer than to risk having to try more than once. There was some intermittent flapping and twitching, which would stop and then start again for a few seconds.
Thanks to everyone for all of your support. She was a sweet little girl that loved nothing more than to sit in our laps and fall asleep. DW is really down, so I'm passing along all the virtual support and hugs
to her.
