Those who have moved a large flock (30+), what's the best way to do it?
On the one hand, I'd like to introduce them to our new house in daytime so they can enjoy it (and I can enjoy watching them in our brand new coop and run which are being built), but it'll be easier to catch them into crates when they've gone to roost...
Though most aren't skittish, I'm sure they won't like being caught and carried by us...
And I don't want to mess with their hierarchy or something by placing the wrong one on a higher roost or something
They are 11-18 weeks old, no-one's laying yet, out of 33 four are cockerels. All get along great.
(Before and after pictures they heard my car a nd came running to the gate to beg to free range )
