Mrs Stoney Ridge helps out putting chicks on pasture...chicken tractor on the lawn!!

What happens here

The farmer and his wife begin picking up the baby chicks from the brooder. They are careful to handle the chicks gently, placing them into yellow 5-gallon buckets. They observe the different sizes of the chicks, noting one smaller 'runt' chick, but assure that all will be fine. This process is done in batches to safely transport all 49 birds.

Goal: Safely collect baby chicks from the brooder for transfer
