You should say. I "laid them to rest" or was "responsible for their demise" for the sake of the sensitive.
Someone gave the wife and I 11 young roosters. We let them fatten up but when it came time to slaughter and eat them we realized there was no way in hell we could catch them.
My friend was over and he showed us what his grandma taught him. You take a stout sick about 2 or three feet long. Hold it low and parallel to the ground and throw it at the roosters so that it 's spinning.
It worked very well. My guess is that this is a method used by humans for thousands of years.
My Father said that if you put a chickens head on the ground and drew a line away from it, starting at the eye, it would just stay there....weird.
Of course you had to catch the chicken first.
