To answer your question, Yes the same method would work. But most just either use pruning or poultry shears and snip the birds head off. I perfer to just hold the body in one hand and head in the other, and pull sharply. Its over for the bird extremely fast and there is no chance of a botched, almost dead, end for the bird. I feel the fastest, most reliable, end is always the best way to go... You can do all this by the way, how ever you process the bird, its always hard the first few times. While it never gets fun, it does become a familiar, required experience if your going to raise birds for meat. The plus side is, once the adult birds are in the freezer, You have room to hatch more chicks! Good luck, Bill
