May animals and fowl be handled or walked on Shabbat?

Synopsis

Animals and fowl are muktzeh and may not be carried. They may be walked (guided) in a yard if needed, as long as their feet are not lifted off the ground. Chickens may not be walked since they lift themselves, but may be pushed from behind.
