Abstract:
An apparatus including a main body, a grabber assembly, and a killing assembly. The grabber assembly includes a grabber head sized to hold a leg and/or neck of poultry. The killing assembly includes a housing removably attached to the main body, a blade removably located within the housing, a rod, at least one tensioning device for placing the rod under tension, a holder device for holding the rod under tension and a killing-trigger for releasing the holder means. Once released, the rod is forcefully sprung in a forward direction, moving the blade over the grabber head thereby decapitating the poultry being grasped at the neck by the grabber head. The apparatus aids a user in handling poultry and quickly, easily, and humanely decapitating poultry.
