Avoid chasing your chicken, as this can make it stressed and sick. Training your chicken to come to you makes the handling process a lot easier!

Alternatively, you can try to drop the net over your chicken. However, this may be more difficult.

This keeps your chicken safe and prevents it from kicking.

If you are holding your chicken between your ribs and upper arm, its wings will already be secured. It’s important to keep your chicken from jumping or flapping, as it can easily get injured. Hold your chicken firmly so that it can’t move, but also gently so it doesn’t feel squashed.

Contact a veterinarian if you have any cause for concern to get advice and treatment.

Try to offer treats whenever you handle your chicken to build a trusting bond.
