Easiest way to weigh birds?

[Aunt Angus]

You could try it after dark. Chickens are often calmer after dark, so they might hold still in the bucket for long enough to get a reading.

Depending on the exact sizes involved, you could wrap the bird in a towel and then sit it in the bucket. Just remember to account for the weight of the towel as well as the bucket.

I have a baby swaddler. That thing is awesome for wrapping up chickens.

I wish I could take credit. Can't remember where I stole it from, but it is brilliant.
