Rooster Processing

That was really nice, Baymule! I always hold mine by the legs and bop on the head to knock them out first. A bit more 'dramatic', but they don't flop around after for some reason, just unconcious and limp. Maybe it would be easier for you to do that first, so you don't have to worry about making a killing cone on a moments' notice.

Thanks for the idea MiricleWik! I have not raised CX to butcher, but plan to someday. I only had these to butcher because of a straight run purchase. If I make a habit of this, I'll have to get set up better!

Not a problem! We have turkeys, and I couldn't imagine lifting a 36lb fighting bird up to a killing cone. It's much easier to knock them out and then cut the throat. I imagine cx can get big too if you allow them. Try it, and let me know how it goes!
