When I was a kid, my dad used to string them up by their feet then
insert a knife in their gullet. He'd let them hang and flop around
until they bled out.

Then there was plucking the feathers. He'd boil a large cauldron of
water and dip the entire bird (unfortunately, I don't remember exactly
how long) after which the feathers pulled out easily.

When I was a kid in Iowa we needed to kill a bunch of chickens we just
grabbed the head and "cracked the whip". Head came right off,
chickens ran all over the place. Great fun!
