I wasn't looking forward to plucking a wet bird in 40 degree weather, and my son had some gloves for a school project. I thought, "at least my hands will be dry." Well, wouldn't you know it, the feathers came out so easily with the gloves on! Now I know why those expensive pluckers have rubber "fingers".

The most humane methods of killing the bird are injecting sodium pentobarbitol, electrocution, and dislocation of the head from cervical vertebrae. The first two methods are usually too expensive or dangerous for common usage. Cervical dislocation is the most practiced method of killing birds for examination.

we have 4 roos...3 we are looking to get rid of. they are getting to be too much for the girls, being cooped up for the most part in the winter, 4 is too many to have for us.

i was watching a tv show the other day about farming. they killed rabbits with a pellet gun to the head. it looked quick and easy. any thoughts about doing this with the roo's?
or any other suggestions? we are not planning on eating them, just wanna get rid of them.

Can these old birds be eaten?

Do they have to age, or hang for a certain amount of time to soften the meat?

I would like some information on this.
