Hi, can someone please tell me how to hold a chicken ? My girls come on my lap and let me pet them but I'm afraid to hold them I red somewhere that you can press on their lungs and cutoff air..

That's how I do it too, my girls don't mind it at all. Most of the time I don't need to tuck them either, just one hand and go.I scoop them up with one hand directly under their bellies, so their legs dangle on either side, and then tuck them against my body. Don't know how "acceptable" that is but most of them don't seem to mind. I have one that doesn't want to be held at all so I just let her perch on my arm like a parrot would.

I can't do it with my cockerel though, so I grab him around his wings with both hands and hope he doesn't escape.
