    The more you pick them up the more they will get used to it but it also depends on how you pick them up.To effectively pick one up with out scaring it, put your fingers through the legs and grab hold of both legs while having your other hand take hold of the wings while holding your chicken close to your body.

    Slowly start approaching your chickens and sprinkle some food on the ground, for about a week, at the same time each day. Then put the food in your hand instead and begin again.
