I can never seem to hold any of my chooks properly. I can sit them on my knee and restrain them gently as needed and they stay nice and calm when I do this, but whenever I pick them up to hold or carry them all I seem to get is a bundle of wriggling, flapping, squirmy feathers. So I guess I'm not using the right technique?
The girls are otherwise quite docile, letting me scratch them, pat them, hand feed, follow me around etc etc. I just have no luck picking them up without feeling like I'm making them uncomfortable or nervous.
Can anyone post a pic of a chicken being held correctly so I can see what it's meant to look like?
