How to Hold a Chicken 

That’s the friendliest rooster I think I’ve ever seen. I was at a fair once and a man was getting his big American game rooster out of his cage and the whole time he held it, it was nonstop pecking and ripping at his other arm. I can’t stand a hateful rooster

"if I dangle you from the empire state building, you'd flap your wings too"

Going to be honest. Watch your video, passed at the end like you said. Less then 10 seconds mastered it. Was able to pick up all baby chickens I own. Thanks

My Plymouth Rock is so jumpy but I managed to finally pick her up and have her chill. Slightly vocal but calm. Thank you for this video.

Good to know cousin😉how about one on how to even get close enough to grab one and pick it up off the ground

Excellent!! I am including your video in poultry workshops I give in Iowa regarding how to examine your chickens. Thank you for sharing it!!

Other videos talk about restraining the wings. This looks so much better. No wing flapping at all.

Thank you for this tutorial 🙏🙏🙏 before watching this just tried to hold my chicken and now my arm is scratched up and bleeding but now I know how to hold a chicken

Thank you for this video.

Excellent video! From Holland I say: "Thank you!!"

Thankyou! This helped me a lot when I hit new chickens an old needed to bathe an treat them. It was surprisingly undramatic thanks to this grip

I already knew this but I had to come back because he looks so silly when being held

Thanks for the info. I was holding my chickens backwards, with their head out past my hand.

Worked really well for me

Great demonstration! Thank you. Quite different from the poultry rodeo that happens when I try to corral a bird.

Thank you sir

Thanks for sharing!

Thanks this helps!

My chickens absolutely HATE this! XD they are perfectly calm being held any way EXCAPT THIS XD they really hate their legs being thouched so its kinda understandable

Thank you!❤

Me literally had a chicken beside me

Wow.. That one is identical to the chicken that I have..

👍 Thanks off to my little girls now

But won't he poop on your hand?

Yea you and your pet chicken are getting along well aren't you. You wouldn't be standing there all calm and comfy with one of theses free range roosters over here in Georgia. I bet you couldn't get a Hen t act that dorsal. People do not, I repeat do not try and handle a Full grown free range rooster that has never been picked up before like that. LOL

Is he dead? 😔

fried chicken.

THis looks fake

Cheater!! That rooster's a trained actor.. Have seen him on a couple of sets.. 🤣🤣🤣
