What is the most 'humane' way to cull a chicken?

This is the link to the other thread on humane euthanasia using the dry ice method. This is how I did it- it effectively does the same thing as the post above me, but with much less hassle.

I used this site as a primer to make a euthanasia chamber last year. I didn't work nearly as well as I anticipated. The guinea pig took nearly an hour to die. Admittedly, he was unconscious for the entire hour, but it took far longer than I thought it would. I would not recommend using this method on animals much larger than a chick.

Not to sound morbid, but that is a great idea! I've heard of the broomstick, but a rake is much easier for me to understand
