Slaughtering methods

[U_Stormcrow]

I hang mine by the feet from a scale, and take the head off with a single smooh cut of a SHARP! 8" chef's knife in my dominant hand, while I hold the head with my other hand.

I **DO NOT** recommend my method. Too easy to mess up if you don't place the knife to slide cleanly between two vertebrae.

I like the broomstick method.

It's fast, bloodless when done correctly (the blood drains into the skin where the spine is separated), and easy on my arthritic wrists.

What is the broomstick?

It's a means of cervical dislocation where you put the chicken's neck under a broomstick or some such thing, stand on the stick, and pull up on it's feet. It's easier than just using your hands.

Someone, @aart maybe? has a good video link for it. It's not something to try without a reasonable idea of what you're doing.
