I raised 19 chicks ealier this year and have 6 more now. I'm curious how most people hold them. I always to support their legs and use my thumb and pointer from the other hand to very loosly go around their neck so they don't jump and keep my palm over their wings so they don't flap. I have a couple now they push really hard with there legs into my upper hand, shoving their wing joint into my fingers around their neck. If I cup them with 2 hands and don't support their legs, they cant push and only wiggle and shake their head. I'm quite gentle either way, but I'm curious which way is better.
