Need some advices on this
Hello, I’m posting here because this is one of the few popular subreddits focused on nature, and since gardening enthusiasts are usually animal lovers too, I figured I’d find the answers I’m looking for here. I’ve been raising chickens in my backyard for several years, and a few weeks ago, I had some chicks. Since I didn’t vaccinate them, they’ve unfortunately contracted Marek’s disease; in other words, they’re unfortunately doomed, and I want to spare them any suffering. That’s why I’ve set out to find a way to kill them without causing them pain (some people break their chickens’ necks, but for chicks this might not work well given their flexibility and could cause them great suffering; others suggest putting them in the cold, but I still feel like they’ll suffer). After several hours of searching online, I came across a solution: carbon monoxide (it seems that it doesn’t cause the animal any pain and that it falls asleep peacefully), but I don’t know how to make it or where to buy it. If anyone can provide a tutorial or suggest another solution, I’d be grateful.
Thanks in advance.
