Surprising Dad With An Incredible Chicken Coop!

What happens here

Ten American Bresse chickens are carefully removed from a transport carrier and introduced into their new coop. Each chicken is fitted with a small, colored leg band for easy identification: yellow bands for hens and green bands for potential roosters, as their gender can be difficult to determine at a young age. The presenter also shares a tip about predicting egg color based on a chicken's earlobe color (white earlobe for white eggs, red earlobe for brown eggs, blue earlobe for blue eggs).

Goal: Settle the new flock of chickens into their new home
