Picking one up close enough?

When I was about ten years old, my parents and I were building a new house out in the country. One day during a lunch break we heard flapping and saw one turkey land on our not finished roof. Then we heard something inside. We ran in and found a hen who had flown in through the window opening on the backside. She was freaking, we cornerd her and picked her up and set her on her way.

Had a hen at about five feet last year, called in her by making her mad, trying to lure her " boyfriend" in. He hung up at about 70 yards and she was behind me at about 5 feet [:-]
