I've been thinking of using them as well. Several years ago, when it became obvious to me that I would be doing all the processing alone, I searched for and found a very nice hatchet that I could use. It's nicely balanced and small. I have small hands and carpal tunnel issues so finding something I could use and that would be humane was important. Still doing very many that way is hard. My biggest question on the cones is: Is it hard to get the chickens in the cones?
Thank you for bringing this up, and thank you to anyone that helps answer questions.

Re. the "chopping of heads"... From what I've been checking out, "killing cones" look like a very good option--seems like less stress on the chicken, less chance for error, cleaner. Anyone here use them? (Might as well ask early on, since my long-term plan is to do Cornish X in future.)
