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

Er...Like this one?

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

Thanks for looking!

Unfortunately when I catch and hold, there's no one to man the camera.

X2, sorry Kat. I have the image of the hen in a wing hold but that seems to be of dubious merit with most other people.

Yeah, I think we talked about this method before, and while it might be okay for smaller, calmer birds, I think one could do some serious harm on the bigger wilder ones.

Kathy, off topic, but what happened with your sharpie egg hatch? I can't find results and I need it for the notes.

Worked okay for a big wild Australorp recently.

I was kinda mad at him because he was jumping me and I wanted him at arm's length to get him in his pen. What I found was that his wings felt really sturdy and supported his weight pretty well. Still haven't done it on purpose just in case, but hey, no wing fractures then.

Bad Kathy.

Some people do carry them that way, but since this article is a candidate for the learning center, I want it to have the safest possible info.
