My grandma, who knew more about chickens than anyone I've ever met, told me to never hold a chicken upside down by the feet. That the reason they get calm when you do that is because they can't breathe right in that position and it can damage them. It can also injure their legs.
I've also read that same information on threads here and elsewhere.
From what I understand it's okay to flip them onto their back, not dangling by their feet.
