hey there,Hello - I've just joined and I'd love some feedback on peoples experience with the 'humane chicken dispatcher'. I just tried to cull my first rooster (brahma) with this method and it was absolutely traumatising. The boy didn't fight or flutter but he also didn't die. I pulled the handle down twice as hard as I could but ...still breathing. I held him upside down for a while but he was still hanging in there. I ended up resorting to the hatchet. It was just horrible :-( Any feedback or advice would be greatly appreciated !
it can be alittle hard your first time especially if it doesnt go well my wife was exactly the same when I started doing it, I use large traffic cones on a saw horse so I can move them wherever i need to, place the roster in and use a very sharp fillet knife to take the head off fully, once done the bird will stop moving in a matter of seconds and then process, I am not a fan of the handle crank at all
hope this helps
