Set the alarm for 3:05 a.m.

Web alarm clock for 3:05 a.m.

Pause the move at 3:05 am so you can leave the poultry settled on higher ground while you finish the next part of the job. An alarm at this time gives you a firm point to step away from lifting cages, checking ties, or watching the water. It also leaves a clear stretch before 4:00 am for anything that cannot safely wait.

While you are still moving the poultry, set the alarm on the phone or computer that will remain awake beside you, then keep this page open. If that device goes to sleep or the browser page is closed, the poultry alarm will not sound, and you may miss the moment to stop. Keep the volume audible above rain, animals, and other activity, and use a separate phone alarm as backup if the timing is critical.

Before you break away, account for the road between your current shelter and the raised place where the birds are being taken. At this hour in the Philippines, traffic may be light, but floodwater, poor lighting, fallen branches, or an unexpected detour can lengthen even a familiar route. Leave enough travel time to reach the birds without rushing, and place a torch and rain gear where you can pick them up immediately.
