I've used the cone and cut the jugular and that works the best for me. It still isn't easy for me to do but effective. I've tried breaking their neck but that is too traumatic for them and me. I had one chicken, Lazarus, who I did that to and two days later she is back at the house. She then laid the best she ever laid for 6 months until she died on her own. Not sure what but when I tried to put her down she was obviously not feeling well but did great for 6 months after the "adjustment". You can see the bare spot on her neck from when I performed the adjustment.
