Liz Crain demonstrates how to pickup and handle a Chicken:
- Scoop the Chicken up from the ground and hold her against your chest as quickly as possible to minimize the chance of the bird struggling.
- Firmly graps their feet between the fingers of one of your hands and slightly back towards the Chicken's rear.
- Flapping wings can be overwhelming for both you and the bird, so keep them close and place one hand over their wings.
- Take the opportunity to inspect the bird's feet, cloeca, head and beak by holding them upside down in your lap with their head tucked in close to your body.
- It's easiest to pickup Chickens as evening approaches and they've already perched in preparation for sleep.  They are more docile during this period of time.
- The more you handle your birds the more comfortable they will become with being picked up and having you around in general.
- To put a bird down, keep your hand over their wings and bring their feet down to the ground and quickly let go.
