Low budget garden gate promotion
Since the deer deterrents have been
working we decided to transfer the original
garden gate from its old location to the new chicken pasture.
Looks like flock moving day
will be sometime tomorrow.

Moving Night
You should always relocate chickens at night. Far less stressful on the chicken movers.

Transporting chickens
Good point! Our girls are awfully well trained, though --- when I rattle a bit of laying pellets in a container, they come running, and I've had no trouble getting them to go where I want in the past. The addition of the rooster is a big question mark, but I suspect he'll probably follow along. We'll see... Feel free to say "I told you so" if things don't go as planned.
