#3's in the brooder, #4 is out of the egg, #5 working on it, and #6 has a ways to go yet.. certainly a lot better results than I was expecting.

Decapitate. The two fastest ways for the chicken are full decapitation - not just slitting the throat! They take a lot longer to die that way! - or cervical dislocation. You may notice that both these methods sever the spine. Unless you're practiced at cervical dislocation, I don't recommend trying it. When you decapitate, make sure you cut through the neck with a very sharp instrument, not the base of the skull.

Some do. Here, they take dogs. Maybe. Nothing else. Feral cats? They say shoot them.

I liked this article on how to kill -

Decapitation was how I killed my scissor-beak who was starting to have trouble breathing. I got him very relaxed, made a quick clean slice. He barely twitched. They WILL struggle, after the head's removed. It's kind of like how even a decapitated, gutted fish, if you run your hand down the body, will sometimes flop. I don't have the technical terms to explain it, but just know that it's normal, they aren't capable of feeling pain any more, and expect it to happen.

You can gas her. Ether.

#5 is out of the egg. Nice clean healed belly, like the rest. That just leaves #6, who has a safety hole, and appears to be taking its time. Give #5 some time to dry off, and I can pull the hatched pair so #6 has some peace in there.

@Zinjifrah How'd you find that breeder? Does she ship eggs everywhere?

I found her through the Ameraucana Breeders Directory. I don't know where she ships, but I don't think she does it as a business.
