*3.1. Crating Time*

Overall, the mean time to fill the transport module was 241 s (range 161–340; SEM 3.84). There was a significant difference in time to fill the transport modules between the two hybrids. For the conventional fast-growing hybrid, the mean time to fill was 219 s (range 161–270; SD 34.03) and 264 s (range 219–340; SD 40.12) for the slower growing hybrid (*p* = 0.001). The difference in crating time between the two hybrids when the interaction between hybrid and catching method was included was significant (*p* = 0.048). Mean crating time was significantly shorter for the UPRIGHT method; the mean time to fill a transport module by LEGS was 252 s (range 188–340; SD 41.48), versus 231 s (range 161–313; SD 43.28) for UPRIGHT (*p* = 0.007).

#### *3.2. Number of Birds Per Drawer*

The mean number of birds in the drawers was 30.87 (range 25–36; SD 1.90). For the conventional fast-growing hybrid, the average was 31.67 birds (range 27–36; SD 1.80) (space allowance: 220 cm2/kg estimated live weight), and for the slower-growing hybrid, it was 30.06 birds (range 25–35; SD 1.64) (space allowance: 197 cm2/kg estimated live weight). The difference in the number of hybrid animals per drawer was significant (*p* = 0.001). The interaction between hybrid and catching method was not significant (*p* = 0.273). The average number of birds in each drawer was 31.25 for LEGS (range 25–36; SD 2.10) (space allowance, regardless of hybrid: 204 cm2/kg, estimated live weight), and 30.48 birds for UPRIGHT (range 26–33; SD 1.59) (space allowance, regardless of hybrid: 211 cm2/kg, estimated live weight) (*p* = 0.022).
