I wanted to take a poll of sorts to see the most popular way on this forum of slaughtering the birds.
Please reply with a choice and how long you have been using that method.
Here are the choices:
Axe to chop off head
Cleaver to chop off head
Machete to chop off head
Other to chop off head
Knife to slice throat
Other to slice throat
Break neck with hands
Break neck with broomhandle
Other method break neck
Other method alltogether, not listed here (what is it?)
My birds are due to be done at the very end of this month of the very beginning of next depending on their weighs at the end of the month since they've been slower than I thought... I'm starting to make a short list of materials I need to gather for the job and yet I still have no idea as a newbie what method I should try my first time.
Also, what is a realistic amount of birds I should expect to do with my husband our first time? We have 25 right now. I don't think we could possibly get them all done in one day. Do you think 10 is a do-able amount?
Oh and what do you guys do with all the blood?! I'm thinking I'll get a couple 5 gallon buckets to catch it all in but then what do I do with it?
THANKS!!!
