  4. Thick leather gloves – grab it by the neck and swing it over your head.

    Or you could shoot it.

  7. Ring its neck.

    Or you could call the cops, or animal controll and they will come to your house and catch the chicken and bring it to a farm.

  12. The usual way to kill a chicken is to wring it’s neck. If you have a “wild” chicken, then go to a twelve gauge shotgun.

  19. Seriously? You have to catch it and cut it’s head off, but you should hold it upside down afterwards unless you want to see it run around headless.

  22. Are you kidding? If you live outside the city limits shoot him. If you live within the city limits call the animal control if they don’t want him take a bat to him and beat his brains out or poison him.

  23. LOL are you sure it is a chicken? You kill a chicken by grabbing it put a pillow case over its head grab it by the neck and swing it around a couple of times……put it down it will run around and fall over dead. If your gonna eat it have some boiling water ready dip it in pull it back out quickly run your hand down it and the feathers will come off, cut off the head and gut it. again ARE YOU SURE IT IS A CHICKEN?

  24. Call Animal Control in your area. They deal with strays. Do not kill it.

    P.S. Must be a pretty BIG CHICKEN!!!

  27. ROTFLOL!!!!!!! Chicken of a chicken?! What kind of dog did it kill? Or cat? Dogs and cats are good chicken killers. Never heard of it the other way around. But call your local animal control.

  29. I hope it was a chihuahua and not a pitbull or something; I have a hard time believing a chicken could even kill a cat. But if this is the case, and it was a pitbull, etc. I would recommend a 30-06 rifle with loooong distance scope. That’s a hell of a bird. Please don’t shoot big bird by mistake– that would really upset the kids…

  33. get a trap like one of those traps that catches racoons and other small amimals. Then poisen it. or you could set some food out and put some rat poisen in it
