This is a good technique to learn. Generally there is no blood...

That’s what I tried to do. I guess I forgot the “pull up” part before the “pull down” part. I even felt it give! But the little pecker still got up and ran. I may try it again, but the 22 sure is easier.

To each their own whatever floats your boat.

The bending of the neck before pulling makes the separation easier. Larger and older birds can be stronger.

Interesting show. I used to know one of the guys in it! He passed away two days before his 100th birthday last fall.

A good way to double check is to feel the neck when you're done. If you can find the end of the spine coming up from the neck, then you're golden. I also sometimes pull off the heads completely just to be triple sure, especially if I'm doing, say, five in a row for processing and I'm not holding them until they completely stop twitching.
