I've not witnessed it, but my mom told me and her grandparents had animals for food, that a way to kill a chicken is to grab it by the head/neck and snap it almost like you were popping a whip. The theory is that the neck breaks and you don't have to chase them around. My great grandfather lost one of his arms in a hunting accident. He apparently made "attachments" for the nub for different tasks. It could be that the neck snapping thing was something that he did since he only had one hand. I don't know.
