You could always send them to market wearing cement boots, this would have a
two fold benefit. 1: they would always be minimum weight 2: They wouldn't
run around as much when they had their heads chopped off, or even better you
could line them all up on the side of a bridge at night, put bags over their
heads and push em all in at once that way they get washed at the same time.
You could call them Mafia Chooks. (and to think I'm wasting my time in
electronics)
