I've gotten everything but how to actaully KILL the chickens. Anyone know any good methods to kill a bunch of Chickens with a pull of a lever that does not need reset every time?

A floor made out of Redpower 2 igniters? Pres butan, receiv grilled chicken. ;)

If your floor is made of transposers to suck items, you could try moving the igniters (or the transposers) to the walls and just having your farm just 2 wide but really long.

something pushing some of the chickens off an edge towards a bunch of golems who are waiting 2 blocks below?
is it possible to squash them with pistons?

And could you post some pictures?.. please :)

I would prever a bit more complex and needless option. Have your chickens in a pen with its soul shard spawner. Then have smart iron golems set to killing animales in a small room next to the pen, but still with a way in. Altough the golems are locked in there little room. then with a lever, you turn off the spawner, open the door for the golems, adn then they kill the chickens. When there done they will return to there room and you can close it again. I would have build a setup to show the idea if i was at home, which im not right now.

If you're feeling adventurous, you could try an old-school lava blade. Hard to set up though.

Obligatory "turtles can do everything" statement.

Also, if you switched out that lever with a button, then you could have a crusher on a timer. Unless you have that lever hooked up to the spawner too. In that case, still have a button, but have a latch or toggle somewhere along the line.

Redstone can do *almost* everything. Although it's kinda hard to do without redpower, so have a backup system planned in case that doesn't make it into the next update.

I made one similar to shadow dragon's tutorial (rp igniter), but I used a 2 high pit with a water source in one corner flowing down to a transposer. the second level had blocks attached to sticky pistons. close the pistons, and most of the chickens suffocate, leaving uncooked chickens instead. I wanted raw chicken for a methane farm since it takes less raw chicken than cooked.
