Performing Medical Checks or Treatment on Chickens
If you have to temporarily restrain your backyard chickens to perform a medical check or treatment (a method called tonic immobility), you may want to consider giving them Recover 911 afterwards to help them recover from the stress that this method can cause, even if it's the safest option for working on your birds.
