Wrangling Roosters

[Mortey]

I need to get 3 of my skittish roosters into a cage this weekend and have no idea how to get them in there

. Any tips to coax them all in?

Easy! Wait until dark. Then you can pick the right off their roost and put them into the cage.

Chickens are very docile when it's dark.

X2... anytime we need to move any of our chickens this is how we try and do it, no stress for anyone

i have my coop about three feet from the shop on purpose...i have a wire dog kennel and when i need to round up birds i put it on one end of the coop so they have to go in when i jdirect them slowly to the other side of the coop ..they just go in ...if you chase them they will fly over it many times....now you can do this beside a fence and use something to direct them into kennel also...jeff
