Связки соломы или связки дерева или связки з'радима [влажные побеги деревьев, срезанные для корма для животных] —если кто-то приготовил их как пищу для животных, они могут быть перемещены; если нет, они не могут быть перемещены. Корзина для цыплят может быть перевернута, чтобы они могли подниматься или опускаться. [И это не считается лишением сосуда его функции, поскольку птенцы не остаются на нем. И согласно мнению, что судно не может быть перемещено, кроме как ради другого судна, которое может быть перемещено, Мишну следует понимать как говорящий об одном случае, когда необходимо место судна.] Курица, которая убежала (из дома)] можно толкнуть [руками], пока он не войдет снова. [И только толкание разрешено, но не тянет; потому что курица поднимается с земли, так что (потянув) он обнаружит, что она двигала ее. Но гусей и других птиц можно вытащить.] Телят и жеребят можно вывести в общественное достояние [взявшись за их шею и бока и таща их, помогая им и двигая ногами]. Женщина может тянуть сына. [Она держит его за руки сзади, он двигает ногами и ходит.] Р. Иегуда говорит: Когда это так? Когда он поднимает одну ногу и опускает одну; но если он их тащит, это запрещено. [На то время она поднимает его. Всякий раз, когда Р. Иегуда говорит «Когда это так» в Мишне, он не отличается, но объясняет слова мудрецов. Поэтому Галаха соответствует ему.]

English Explanation of Mishnah Shabbat
Introduction
The mishnah begins by discussing things which were prepared to be given as fodder to animals. The remainder of the mishnah deals with other laws concerning animals on Shabbat.

English Explanation of Mishnah Shabbat
Bundles of straw, bundles of twigs, or bundles of young shoots, if they were prepared as animal food, they may be carried; if not, they may not be carried. It is permissible to carry animal food on Shabbat, so if these bundles of various things were prepared for this purpose they may be carried. However, if they weren’t specifically prepared to be animal food then we can assume that they were prepared to be used in lighting a stove or oven, an act prohibited on Shabbat. Therefore, they may not be carried for they are muktzeh.

כופין את הסל לפני האפרוחים – We disturb the utensil (i.e., turn it over from its place so that it is not [functioning] for the young chickens are not standing upon it and the individual who states that the utensil is not being taken other than for the need of the things for which it is taken, our Mishnah establishes that is necessary for the place of the utensil.

English Explanation of Mishnah Shabbat
One may overturn a basket before young birds, so that they will get up and then get down. The young birds themselves are muktzeh since there is nothing that one can do with them on Shabbat. However, the mishnah holds that one may nevertheless move a basket in front of them so that they will get up onto the basket and then get off of it.

שברחה – from the house.

English Explanation of Mishnah Shabbat
A chicken which has run away, they may push her until she re-enters. Again, it is forbidden to hold the chicken itself because it is muktzeh. However, if it runs away one may push it back to its place. This is assumedly allowed to prevent the loss of the chicken, just as activities normally prohibited on Shabbat were allowed to prevent loss of property from fire.

English Explanation of Mishnah Shabbat
One may make calves and foals walk in the public domain. And a woman may make her son walk. Rabbi Judah says: when is this so? If he lifts one [foot] and places [another] down; but if he drags them it is forbidden. One can help small animals or toddlers walk around on Shabbat and we need not be concerned that the mother or the one helping the animal will pick the animal up, which is forbidden. Rabbi Judah limits this permission to a child who can at least walk a little bit on his own. But if the child is only “dragging its feet”, then one can’t help it walk on Shabbat, lest one come to pick it up and thereby carry it.

אבל גורר אסור – when she carries him, and everywhere in the Mishnah where Rabbi Yehuda says, "אימתי"/”from when,” he does not come to dispute, but rather to explain the words of the Sages. Therefore, the Halakha is according to him.
