When you indicated there would be flapping when you chop a chickens head off is kind of an understatement. That bird is going to go crazy and holding it by its feet is going to get you covered in blood. I've seen chickens flapping on the ground and just stood back until it calmed down.
Cut the corner out of a plastic shopping bag and slip the chickens head through so that its body is firmly in the bag. Tie it off and finish the business. You can hold the chicken now and let it bleed out without getting covered.
