Questionable harvest method

[Duckiiess]

My goto for roosters is cervical dislocation. Hopefully I can grab them at night like what LaFleche said.. if not, or if they wake up and start to run away, just get it cornered, pin it down, then grab both feet in one hand and carry them away upside down- this calms them down pretty quick the vast majority of the time. Wear long sleeves and work pants in case they do try flying at you with their claws out, those are sharp.
Hold both feet in one hand, put the head between your thumb and forefinger with your thumb on the back of the head and give a good yank. Chicken necks aren't that strong, this is pretty easy to do, but don't try to be gentle. Then instantly either slit the throat through or remove the head and hang the bird upside down.
Roosters are much easier to skin than pluck, and if it's an older bird it's not a good roaster anyways, needs to cook a while in a pot to break down the meat.

The husband is squeamish of throat slitting, I doubt stomping the heads is going to be easier for him. I don't butcher my own birds but have researched the methods extensively. Head stomping was not considered. There's lots of great advice above.

I like my method. I’d add the roost capture to make it easier.
Cradle meat bird under the arm like a football, head forward.
Smooth back head feathers, grasp head and pull out and crank up at the same time to dislocate the neck. Hold bird until it is still. Complete processing.
The bird actually relaxes after a few seconds in the hold. The dislocation must be quick while keeping chicken still.
No blood, no lurching around, it’s peaceful and clean as it can be.

As a little girl, my aunt sent me out to chop off the mean old rooster’s head. I could not eat chicken for weeks after watching the lurching, blood spurting, headless mess.

I find the broomstick method works well and is wuick and mostly bloodless till you decspitate the dead bird and hang it.

I use a pellet rifle. Just throw an amount of feed down and shoot for the base of the back of the head on 3-4 birds at a time. Quick and easy. I then chop off the heads with a hatchet over a log. The neck shot knocks them unconscious quick and easy and gives a little bit of separation from the animal vs an in hand kill. Tip... practice on a target from 5-10 feet before trying it on the real birds at the same distances. Wear safety glasses. Shoot from a steady rest if you're not a good freehand shot.
