re: Anybody here every slaughter livestock?

Not sure what breed it was. But a friend of mind raises them on a rural lot outside of BR. He gave me the hen because it was partially attacked by a chicken hawk.

I watched a video on youtube just to learn. I held the chicken in my lap, her head pointing to the ground. I covered her head so she would calm down and go to sleep. Then I just took a sharp knife and slit the jugular vein. She calmly passed out eventually.
