Have you ever wrung a chicken's neck?

[Iron Woode]

I have forwrded this thread to PETA.

Soon you will be surrounded by hundreds of stark raving mad animal lovers and vegans.

You will pay the price for your crimes against chickens.

So are you asking if we regularly choke the chicken?

Never chicken, but pheasants.

Chicken doesn't come, naturally, frozen and freeze wrapped. They come from a feathered fowl that lived some part of it's life someplace. (brilliant, huh?)

I grew up in the country and when we wanted chicken we went to the chicken coop and grabbed a few.

It wasn't pretty, but when you grow up with it it ain't no big thang.

You grab the chicken by the head, give it a swing up and over your head like you're pitching softball and just at the end of the delivery you jerk it back, breaking its neck.

You then hang the broken neck chickens from a line by their feet, cut their throats and let them bleed out. You don't want all that chicken blood in your fired chicken.

After they bleed out, all over the ground, you dip them in a big pot of boiling water for a minute or so to soften up the flesh. You want it just soft enough to yank out all the feathers. You don't want to be mixing feathers in your fresh chicken meat.

AFter ripping off all the feathers you gut them by slitting up from the anal orifice towards the breast. You reach in and rip out all the guts, being careful not to damage their gall bladder. The gall baldder will give it a nasty, raunchy taste if mis handled.

You now have a chicken ready for cooking.

Enjoy!

Ever castrated a calf?

No big deal. I'll just snap its neck. My first attempt failed and thinking I did it wrong, I tried again. And again. The damned thing was still tweaking. Maybe some nerve reactions or something, it must be dead I thought. The thing is blinking its eyes and moving its feet as if to walk. I am in the mud literally clenching its skull with one hand and its body with the other, twisting with my full force its neck in various unnatural positions. I think the feeling I had then was similar to what people feel when they kill a person--I just turned off the guilt mechanism in my brain and strarted twisting like crazy, banging the thing on the ground trying to get it to stop moving. The duck kept moving, eyes blinking and feet walking like a wind-up toy.

Eventually I gave up and walked back to shore and threw it in the bag with the other ducks, expecting it had to die eventually. After a long days hunt and a lengthy drive home, I cleaned up the boat and put all my equitment away. Taking out the bag of ducks, I removed them on by one. Hours later, that bastard was still moving his feet and blinking his eyes. I don't understand it.

:Q That's one tough duck. I wonder if he had a reputation for toughness in his real life... anyhoo

OP I have never done what you mentioned, but I used to have to collect the eggs from teh chicken coop when I was a littlun'. They were sometimes still warm when we put them in the basket. $1/dozen. We had a big old mean rooster named 'Red' too - very scary SOB. He was a lot like a guard dog actually.

I think the freshest meal I've had in terms of kill ---> eat would be rabbit (rabbit stew). Probably the best tasting stew I've ever had - and the meat is so good & tender. mm.

I like PETA members. I've found that they're quite delicious when battered up and served with rice.

i've always wanted to see that

Yes, I've participated in the slaughter of chickens, pigs, and cows.

 

[Martin]

No, but when I was little I watched my grandma chop a chicken's head off, which then proceeded to run around the yard for a few minutes.

 

I have never done it myself, but I witnessed it so many times in my life. I did feel sympathetic occasionally. Nevertheless, that never stopped me from enjoying the chicken when it was done. And they were sooooooooooooooo delicious compared to the crap that I eat from the grocery stores.

Art Bell had this creepy story of a headless chicken that's still alive. (Shivers at the thought of pun.... LOL!)

For chickens, two people hold it and stab it in the throat (instead of chopping off its head as it gets really messy if you know what I mean).

For pigs, you take an electric probe and shock it behind its left ear. You then string it up by its hind leg and stab it in the throat.

For a cow, you take a rifle and pop it in the head (from the front). Then you stab it in the throat.

 

[rh71]

Wow now I'm willing to pay twice as much for a pre-wrapped chicken breast.

 

[cliftonite]

Ive seen it done plenty of times in India (relatives owned a poultry farm and id visit every summer)

You sir are an idiot and should be banned from hunting. You can't hold the body while doing it. You have to grab the head and snap the neck either in a circular motion or like the OP described the chicken.

We have to do this all the time when goose/duck hunting. Makes the death quick for the poor guys.

 

[chrisms]

I did that repeatedly. But like I said the damn thing kept moving. My brother, who has been doing this years longer than I, even tried it and couldn't get it to stop moving. The rest of what I did was just out of frustration.
