They will also scatter bodily fluids and feathers everywhere, not good.

Cutting the throat is easier, although I consider it unnecessary suffering if the bird is not for meat. Can you aim an axe? It's a more certain method, but is immediate.

Frankly, letting them loose is a bad idea. Anything you do to them is better than letting wild critters get their paws on them. Many animals don't kill before they eat.

I can aim an axe----I just see myself chasing them with it. I might have to get someone to come help or my neighbors and going to see me covered in blood with and axe walking through the woods!

It's not difficult to tie them down. You can also try to "hypnotize them", i.e. hold them on their back until they stop struggling then lay them carefully down on the stump. Whatever you do, be sure to tie their feet to something, so they don't run away and spread infected blood everywhere.
