6 week old guinae keets under coop and I can't catch them

[abooot99]

My 6 week old keets escaped their brooder in the coop and are now in the pen under the coop. I am in NH and the temps are supposed to get down to 45.

Any suggestions?

Do you have a long handled net, like maybe a pool net?

 

[abooot99]

no, I have a short fishing net. I won't be able to reach them with that. Not even a broom would reach them to shoo out of there.

I don't have a suggestion, but good luck! Hope you catch them.

I haven't caught them and have quit. What I did was place a few pieces of insulation around the base of the coop and shined in a heat lamp so hopefully it will help keep it a little warmer. Its not directly shining on them but on the ground near where they have decided to stay for the night. Now I just hope it doesn't cause fire....
