This listing offers a humane poultry dispatcher that simplifies the process of dispatching chickens or other large poultry while minimizing stress for the animal. Unlike the traditional chopping block method, which involves a forceful and abrupt removal of the head with a sharp knife, this dispatcher ensures a more controlled and gentle approach.

Product Details

 

This device is mounted on a post or tree and is a neck breaker. The humane poultry killer is designed to break the neck of the bird killing it instantly. The skin is not supposed to be cut or the head removed, making the job less messy and much less stressful for both the bird and the person.

There is a purpose made gap in the neck resting area so when the handle is closed it cannot sever the bird’s head. This gap can be adjusted for different sized birds .

Procedure

Step 1 – Calmly get your bird (in this case I needed to process 4 roosters from my last hatching) I went down to the pen the night before and isolated the 4 roosters from the rest of the flock by putting them into a small holding pen. At night chickens are easy to catch and will not move because they can’t see very well. Now that the birds were isolated, it was a simple matter of going to the pen and selecting a bird.

Step 2 – Lift the humane poultry killer handle up and then grip the lower legs of the bird just above the feet securely. Position the bird so the neck rests across the “U” resting area from left to right. The bird should just calmly sit there and will likely not have a clue what’s going on.

Step 3 – Firmly and swiftly press the handle downwards until it stops as the bolt rests on the stopper and hold it in position. The bird will probably flutter and convulse a little bit but it will have been instantly knocked out and killed.

Step 4 – Hang the bird by the feet so the blood and fluids drain into the neck and head cavity – you should not see much blood (if any) coming from the bird.

Step 5 – Process the bird for eating etc as normal.
