My neighbor Davie assisted me in the forced relocation of two hens, and one big rooster, from the backyard of one of my rental duplexes to a much more spacious and bucolic setting, Scott’s Garden To Be farm.
Scott has his own flock, and he knows how to handle ’em. He put the newbies in the cage next to the home birds, gave everybody a feed to put them in a good mood, and let them hang out. He was sure the hens would integrate, but allowed that the Rooster might find itself relocated for its own good.
