How to Hold a Hen
- 1). Coax the hen toward you with chicken feed. Toss the chicken feed on the ground at your feet. This distracts the hen.
- 2). Move to the side of the hen as she eats the feed.
- 3). Bend down and pull both legs out from under the hen. Quickly place one hand on the chest of the hen.
- 4). Place your free hand between the legs of the hen. This provides additional support and prevents struggling from the hen.
- 5). Rest the hen between the crook of your arm and your side. This position keeps the hen in place while also providing her with full body support.
