technical field [0001] The present invention relates to methods and apparatus for handling poultry. Background technique [0002] Currently, live poultry such as chickens, turkeys, geese, ducks and quail are delivered to slaughterhouses in containers or cages. [0003] Live animals are unloaded on conveyor belts or placed in containers or cages. The poultry is manually grasped by the legs and the animal is hung from the shackles by the ankles in a downward hanging position. To keep the animals as quiet as possible, poultry are handled in relative darkness. [0004] The animal is hung firmly by the ankles in the shackles to provide a tight grip to prevent release from the shackles and to provide good conductivity when the animal is electrically stunned in the water bath. [0005] Hanging an animal's legs in a shackle or other hooking device can create significant tension and pain. Often, the leg may be injured, dislocated, or broken. In addition, it is also possible that...
