Whats the most humane way to kill a chicken?

[Hyroler]

The hard part is training them to sit on dynamite and not move.

Well, I've read this whole thread and appreciate all those who contributed to it, posted links, etc. I am going to have to cull some roosters, since straight run seems to be a ratio of 4 or 5 roosters to 1 or 2 hens these days. I am happily not in a place where I can't keep any, but doubt even my farmy neighbors will be thrilled to hear 15 of them go off every morning. They are around 8 wks now and starting to crow. I am thinking that sooner will be better than later. Not looking forward to it, but it has to be done.

Just make sure you cover the word dynamite or explosive on each stick with a piece of duct tape. Chickens may be birdbrains but ain't that stupid.

Why not wait till they are big enough to eat.Seems like a waste to kill them at 8 weeks.Of you decide to use my method 1 stick of dynamite is enough to kill all 8 of them.Its just a matter of getting them all to stand on dynamite at same time.

It’s a Cornish Rock Cross. It is a massive bird bred to grow super fast and big for meat production. I looked up ways to keep him/her as a pet but it seems like it is a pretty cruel thing to do to them. So I will process this one and never get one again. This was taken of Enchilada when he was only five weeks old.

I like to feed my birds booze before I slaughter them. I wait until they're comfortably drunk before I restrain them and cut their throats. When intoxicated they're less upset about being restrained and I find they flail and twitch less in their death throws. It seems to make the experience a bit less bad for them.

I never thought about slipping the chickens a Mickey before doing them in.

What sort of booze does a chicken like? Beer? How long before they're drunk? This is interesting, lol.
