quickie (recyclable!) killing cone for processing broiler chickens

[Beekissed]

Pat, I have one made from a 2 gal. bleach jug that is very sturdy. It held my big, grey roo~approx. small turkey size! Just the right size and washable, if needed, though I got no blood on the cone itself.

Traffic cones can also serve as a more permanent killing device, once cut to the appropriate dimensions.

Heh, if we owned a full-sized traffic cone, my boys (age 5 and 2) would kill ME if I did anything unauthorized like cutting the end off. They LIVE for toys like that. The older one keeps looking in the ditches as we drive past construction sites, hoping to find a 'roadkilled' cone that he thinks he would be able to persuade me we could take home

Of course, Pat, you could remind him that its the cone - or no chicken dinner.

Another alternative would be to just snag TWO off the road - one for him and one for the abattoir.

I had thought of using Pats idea (and it's a great one too) but instead I splurged and bought a nice shiney metal one from Berry Hill..
