Making the most of it.

Wait for him to go to roost and snatch him up from there -- grab him by the legs, this gives you control of him as you can always hang him upside down away from you to avoid pecking and wing flogging --- the leg hold also makes dropping him into a kennel easier

That I can do!!!!! He has inch long little spurs on his legs. Im not to worried about the girls.

Devin just let one of the girls escape the yard. He is out there chasing the bird around the neighborhood!!! LOL Its so funny. He will get her, but I cant stop laughing at him. Mean wifey... mean.

He caught her... entertainment over. Heeee heeeee.

Well, I think tonight will be our last night here. We rented a storage unit and have most stuff packed and out of the way.. I just have a couch that I am going to dump on Sunday anyway and our tv's and x boxes left in the house. The dogs dont know what is going on and are nervous and whiny... but it will all be okay. Thank God I have my folks... I just imagine all those that have no plan B.... They end up sleeping in their cars or homeless.... thats a tough pill to swallow.

Thank you all for your kind words. It means the world to me.

Some good news, for a change.

Does anyone have any ideas how to get the rooster in a dog kennel??? He is mean and I have to do that tonight.

Put some feed in it for him? Maybe a favorite treat. Got any dry shelled corn?

I can try that. I might have to wait till he roosts though and grab him. I'll give both a shot.

I have a big, snotty hen and whenever I have to check her over, I go out when she's on the roost and throw a towel over her and wrap her real quick like a burrito. Then I hold her like a football and I can pull her feet out, put drops in her mouth, check her vent or whatever and she can't flap because her wings are pinned down.

I think that will be the best bet. I use to be able to hold him but he got ornery. Poor dude is headed for the pot.

Has it been 20 days already?!?!
Best of Luck to yas.
I use both hands and hold the wings to the body so they can't thrash them and get all agitated.

Hope you were able to catch dinner.
Just keep believing and having the necessary faith and sooner or later you'll find where you're supposed to be.
