How to move a large number of chickens to new coop

So I thought I was pretty clever when I constructed a chicken tractor that assembles and disassembles in a few minutes by being made in panels that snap together. - letting me brood chicks in it inside the barn and then reassemble it outdoors and use as a regular chicken tractor to finish my meat birds.

One problem- I'm not sure how to get my birds IN the reassembled outdoor pen? Do I have to catch every last one, put them in a holding area, and then catch every single one again to put them in the moved coop? Or is there a simpler way?

Can I just withhold food for a bit then turn them loose while I move the pen, and then draw a trail to the new coop with grower crumbles?? (only half kidding!!!)

Just kidding.
I think you're stuck doing chicken round up. Bunch of boxes for the birds and moving the whole kit and caboodle outside.
Have fun!
