How do you persuade her to stand on your hands?I still count myself as inexperienced but from what I've heard, there are two safe ways to hold a chicken (there may be more but I haven't learned them yet). The first is hands around the wings, lift, support the feet, hold the chicken close to your body. The other method I once saw Shad describe is by gently and slowly lifting with the hen with her standing on your hands, and this is how I handled Janet last night because I was afraid of breaking an egg shell inside her, I didn't want to hold her torso. It worked really well. I was surprised how calm she was.
