From eggs to meat to just making your yard look a little more exotic, chickens are a great and easy-to-raise resource on the homestead …for the most part. If you raise chickens, you probably already know what chicken wrangling is and why we all dread it. Chicken wrangling means a spontaneous jog because a few hens decided to stage a rebellion and refuse to go into their coop for the evening. Then again, for some of us, chicken wrangling is dashing all over the yard to chase down that rooster who thinks he’s too good for your chicken tractor.
Unruly chickens loose in the yard can quickly become a frustrating hassle or a meal for predators. (Most of us want neither situation.) But thank goodness there’s a way out! It’s time to quit your career as a chicken wrangler and train your chickens to go into their chicken tractor, coop, or whatever enclosure you want them in.
