    Become familiar with the chicken first by talking to it and stroking its neck - that way it will be more comfortable coming to you. You could also try trapping it or sneaking up on it.

    No. It just lays there. This is used to calm it down. There are not a lot of ways to contol a chicken.
  • Question
    My chickens are not becoming hypnotized. After I do as told, the chicken jumps up and walks away. Am I doing something wrong?
    Community Answer
    Some of these methods are more difficult, but one way I hypnotize my chickens is by cradling them on their backs in the center of my legs while petting right under their eyes. This generally hypnotizes them right to sleep.

    Community Answer
    Unfortunately, no.

    Yes, but it can cause a lot of harm. Some hold it upside down and some hold it on its back. Do not do any of these! The safest way is to put its head under its wing and then rock it.
  • Question
    I have never had chickens. Are there any tips you could give me on raising them?

    YouTube. Watch every chicken video you can, find books about it, and do whatever you can to prepare yourself. Basically, you just need to feed and water them and give them a safe place to roost at night. It's not too complicated.
