Scale Recommendations?

What does everyone use for weighing live birds and dressed ones? Types/models would be great. How do you get the bird to stand still? Not looking to spend a bundle if possible. Thanks!

I use a digital Rapla fish scale. You hold it in one hand and it has a short chain and hook on the other end. I put the live or dressed bird in a cheap cloth reusable shopping bag and hang it from the hook. I am sure others have something that works better, but it is something I already had that works.

This is a great solution!

For live chickens I used a digital kitchen scale with a cardboard box I put the chicken in! I tared it to zero...they didn't stay in long but enough to get a reading...
