I think chickens are a good way to break into meat raising. I raise both hens for eggs and Cornish crosses for meat. It was definitely rough putting them out and still is to be completely honest. I just had a cow and a pig done too. It’s definitely a blood pumping experience but it can be normalized even for animal lovers like myself. Fresh meat tastes so much better than store bought and the appreciation is something you can’t replicate. I’m just a city boy from San Diego as well so it can definitely be done.
My mom used to kill chickens for the family dinner when she was little. She said she'd just grab them by the neck and spin them around until the head popped off. Not joking.

Damn, that’s one way. I just cut the arteries when they’re upside down in a cone. I think you get better drainage of blood that way.
