ABSTRACT:
Method and apparatus for collecting poultry wherein an enclosure door aligned with the floor of the enclosure is inclined at an angle of at least about 12.degree. from horizontal and poultry is placed on the door and released to slide down the door and into the enclosure. Preferably, both the door and the floor are inclined to an angle of at least about 12.degree., with both lying in substantially the same plane. The construction of the door, and preferably the floor also, is such that a bird placed on the door will slide down the door when the door is inclined at an angle of at least about 12.degree. to horizontal. In the apparatus, banks of such enclosures are secured together in a back-to-back relationship to form a unitary structure which can be handled as one piece. The structure is inclined in one direction to fill the enclosures on one side and is then inclined in the other direction to fill the enclosures on the other side.
