Looking for pictures that show how to catch and carry chickens.

Anyone have any pictures that show how to correctly carry and restrain a chicken, duck, turkey, etc that I can use in my article? You will get photo credit of course.

Great pictures! I guess I should have been clearer. I'm looking for pictures that show how to catch, carry, hold a bird to give it oral medications.

Your pictures are a perfect example of how to transport birds.

@duluthralphie , do you also tape their legs?

Those guys had their legs duct taped. I am thinking the nice Asian lady never took them out of the sack.....ever...or with their heads connected to the body...

Don't know if you're a fan of the leg wire method, but this guy has a fairly good video and he would likely allow you to take frames... I'll add another one below as well.

John would likely also be willing to let you use frames from his video.

When we do it, no cameras are allowed. Actually it really does depend on the situation. When birds are perched in unsafe locations we pick them off their perch or net them and put them in their house. If they're outside their safe area, we'll herd them with nets and open the gate and they'll go in. But we've never held them for medicating purposes.

ETA: Ralphie You're hilarious.

I'm looking for something like this that shows the bird being held close to the body with its wings and legs restrained:

Oh, You want a picture of Cuddles getting his loving!!

Hopefully someone will have what you need. If you see it in a video and have permission to capture the frame, I can do that for you and give you a jpg of a single frame. Unfortunately when I catch and hold, there's no one to man the camera.

I have this picture of how to properly restrain a chicken.. Just put the open cuff on a pipe and you have them right where you want them..

Er...Like this one?

Nevermind. Legs were not restrained, mostly because he was tiny. Does not fit criteria.
