You just reminded me of something. When I was about eight years old I visited my uncles chicken farm in Wisconsin and during slaughter time he would nail up a two by four between two pine trees. He then nailed about five large funnels every ft. or so. He would drop the chickens head first into the funnel. There necks and heads would come out of the neck of the funnel and their butts would stick up in the air. He then took the sharpest cleaver you'll ever see and whacked all there heads off at once. Of course the chiken bods flopped out of the funnel and ran around scaring the crap out of me.

I once heard of a chicken farmer with the same problem. Planted his chickens head first, butt first, then right side, left side and upside down. Finally, in desperation, wrote Texas A&M for assistance. They, too, were confused and asked for a soil sample.
