I have found that to be true when I was young also..

Ever heard of Mike the headless chicken?


Mike the Headless Chicken's Amazing Story

^ that was wild was,nt it, bloody chook running around no head, and yep quick twist and pull or whack with the chopper!

Ahh guys we are talking about killling a chicken.

Being a hillbilly I know a thing or two about dinner.

My grandma use to grab a chicken, cut off the head and then throw the chicken body underneath a big bucket.

After a minute or two of banging on the bucket, the chicken was dead.

How you prepare the chicken is up to you...

I will add that I have heard these rumours before.

In reality, you cant seperate the tendons of the chickens neck by doing the tornado thing.

Been there, done that.

But maybe you can...

Damn sure Hilly, if ya didn't throw em under something they had blood slung all over everything and you had to run em down and bring em back..

I was a geek used to just bite em off.

When I was a kid on the farm Grandmother used to point the one out that she wanted and I used to take them out with my single shot Webley Garden Gun from about 10ft !!
A 6mm ? shotgun !
Was in deep shit if I missed the head and got a bodyshot! - Bloody toothpicks on the dinner table !!!

For a good lesson in decapitating a chicken rent the film Babel. With a chicken in one hand and a remote for your DVD player in the other, you can rewind and practice until you've perfected the technique.

Damn good shot with a 30/30, altho I did the same thing to a Ruff Grouse with a 25/35 win. when I was a kid hunting with my dad, who upon seeing that, took the bird and then planted a foot in my ass cause there was no season at all for Ruffs, but we took it home and ate it anyway.. Took the head off just above the ruff but he died quick.

My neighbors tie the legs and then cut the throat. Then in to boiling water and the feathers
come off no problem.

I think drowning is a good alternative, no messing with blood n' stuff and for sure they are dead. Used to do it all the time with unwanted kittens in my childhood.

I just killed my first yesterday. A stone from a slingshot right to the head at 10 feet away. I didn't really think I'd hit it but did, right in the head. Down it went and I ran over to wring the neck.

Quite pleased and mum made a delicious curry out of it.

do i sense some soft feakdoor members in this tread?

I buy mine wrapped in plastic from the supermarket. My mum told me a story from when they lived in Uganda. She had ordered a turkey for Xmas and it arrived alive in a basket. Got my dad to take it round the back to kill it.

Piece of piss really, is a freakin Chicken not a turkey, love to see the rigmarole you mob go through cooking the fuckers

once i had to put down my (then) 5 year old daughter's sick budgerigar. i gave the head a yank; the bloody thing started screeching and kept doing so even though by that time it's neck had stretched to about 6 inches long!. ended up pulling the poor thing's head right off and had to try keep it hidden behind my back as my daughter had rushed in to find out what all the noise was about.

My grandmother had a budgie, way back in the '60's - she was a bit mental and an hypochondriach, she spent all day whining to the budgie about how ill she was and how she wished she was dead, one day, she opened the cage and the budgie flew out and into the fire and burned to death - I guess it couldn't take any more (True Story!)
