I have some free range chickens that i feed in the garden near the laundry room - as water is readily available for cleaning etc. I would like to put the killing cone on a wall a few feet from the same area - so, again, water is nearby. If the killing cone is near the area where chickens normally feed, will the smell of blood scare the chickens away from the area? I wouldn't slaughter at feeding time, but just wonder if any smells or noise from the slaughter would scare the others away from returning for food later. I'd be grateful for any feedback from the experts as I am just starting out with my few chickens. I may only slaughter 1 or 2 a month anyway and there is soil under where I would put the killing cone for the blood to seep into. Thanks so much
