I feel for you.................I have been there and done that! I have even hurt myself from falling down pretty hard. I came up with a nice compromise with my chickens and they are rather good chickens to put away now. It will take a few days to week for them to get the routine of it, but once they do it is so easy and relaxing......not to mention non-stressful! what I do is I call up the girls (usually when i call up the girls I have treats or food of some sort/this way they come running when i call) anyway I have cracked corn as a put away treat, because this stuff is like candy to them. I sprinkle just a few at my feet until all are there and then I start walking to the run with dropping a few sprinkles as I go. When I get to the run I open the door and I start to pour the corn in the run, when the last girl goes in I close the door behind her. In. Done. No more chasing!
