Farm Vlog #007 Chicken Roundup, Naughty trickster goats!

What happens here

The baby chickens are individually removed from their cardboard box and transferred into their new chicken coop. As each chicken is placed inside, the presenter gives them unique names like 'Goat Chicken', 'Vanilla Ice', 'Sheryl Crow', 'Mike Tyson', 'Snow White', 'Betsy', 'Don King', 'Roberto', 'Juliana', 'Redhead', 'Mary-Ann', 'Alfalfa', 'Powder', and 'Jerry Garcia'. The plan is to keep the chickens confined within the coop overnight, possibly for two nights, to allow them to acclimate to their new surroundings and learn their roosting and sleeping spots before they are granted access to the outside run.

Goal: Safely move new chickens into their coop and encourage them to establish roosting and sleeping habits.
