First take the bird quietly in the dark

Tuck the bird quietly under your arm

Go into the coop quietly whistling softly or even talking this way the birds know its you and don't all scream about flapping and upsetting everything

Take the bird by the legs from the perch and pull it into your side by placing a hand around its body and cup its head in your hand. Walk out quietly and away from the coop up to the house so as not to cause any more disturbance to the rest of the birds and the household

Take your right hand and slide it under the birds butt and grasp its legs with the hand closed take the legs with the thumb pointing away from the body

bring the bird into your chest holding its legs tight into the body and taking a firm but gentle grip on its neck extend and put the weight of the top part of the body onto the neck forcing the head down in one clean movement

The head will part from the body as the neck is broken and your hand will follow on down and away from the bird. As the pressure you applied is released the bird will start to flap uncontrollably at this point the chicken is dead

T his action is only nervous reaction and it will stop in about 30 seconds. Allow the bird to flap as much as it wants as this action forces any blood to go down to the neck

You can hang it for a day or two if you so wish

Once the bird has been plucked that there are a few fine hairs left on the bird, just ignore them
