The cone is my favorite. If you can find someone nearby to help, I think you'll be happy with it, given the circumstances. I have no problem with wringing necks but I can't personally do it with any forethought. Hubby is my neck wringer.

Good luck to you and I'm so sorry.

I've only personally put down one chick. I held it close to my heart and sang a lullaby while I held it's beak together and covered it's nostrils. The chick was half dead before I started and she just 'fell asleep' in less than 30 seconds. No kicking or squirming. I cried and cried. I have to get my husband to put down bigger chickens if something goes wrong with them. Thank goodness that doesn't happen often! So sorry.

Have y'all seen this commercial? I'm trying to figure out if the man/farmer says he or she just keeps sending pictures. Sounds to me like he but this is a BO hen...

I'm good at catching snake mistakes on tv and in movies, too. Once, the bad guy had the good guy tied up and was threatening him with a snake. Bad guy told the good guy it was a deadly venomous snake and he was going to let the snake bite him if he didn't tell him where the money was......I was yelling at the tv. "Don't do it. Don't do it. That's not a venomous snake! That's a king snake not a coral snake!" The good guy got scared and told him what he wanted to know. Then the bad guy laughed and said, 'You dummy! This is just a harmless king snake!" HA! I knew it!
 
Thanks everyone for your support. Unfortunately, I will have to do this alone so I'm a bit limited on my options. I am researching how to dislocate her neck. I really want to make sure it's humane. That's my biggest concern.

Has anyone ever heard of putting engine fluid on a rag and using it to euthanize because of the ether?

I know when I was breeding mice I used CO2 gas to euthanize them if I had to. It was pretty simple, and very painless for them if you do it right. I'm so sorry you're having to do this, it always sucks having to lose one. :(

If you want, I can link you to the site(s) I used to learn about the CO2.
