Can you sharp loppers or a meat cleaver for beheading poultry? I am not sure with an axe and want to make it as quick and painless as possible.

I will stick with loppers.. have used them on hundreds of birds with good results
my mother used to make me hold the heads still while she swung an axe.. after a childhood of counting my fingers when she was done and having to hang onto tough roosters while their heads slipped around in the puddle of blood so she could make that swing.. i figured I have had enough of looking at an axe to last me a lifetime.
Wow. I guess if I wanted the head pulled or held, I'd use the two nail approach. Don't reckon I'd ask anyone to hold the head. Glad you're still in one piece and didn't earn the nickname Lefty.
lol... my mother never asked.. she TOLD me that was my job
one thing i learned growing up... never argue with an angry german woman with an axe...
