Anyone have luck catching a feral chicken?? UPDATE: Rooster caught, no hen

How fun and exciting!!! They look shiny, bright and healthy.

They have no visible mites, no gunk from their nose/mouth, no missing feathers. Not sure why they were dumped

I have a story for y'all today!!!!!

The rescue I work for got a call about 4 dumped chickens by a park about an hour from me. Asked if I would go check it out...but of course!

I caught the first one IN the park, with help from my two year old the other three saw what was going and and ran across the road up a gigantic bluffy mountain thing that was covered in thick brush the original rescue person who saw them this morning came with a puppy x pen and we chased the other three up and down and around that dang mountain until at last we caught them up against a huge rock and the pen!!!

Three hens and one roo. I know the black girl is a bsl, the brown girls look like typically brown girls but have black tips on some of their feathering, and I don't know what the roo is. Any ideas? They're all in quarantine right now. The girls are here for good- not sure about mr.Roo yet. I've got a good balance going on with the ones I've got!

Great Job! Handsome roo!

Maybe they escaped and went on an adventure?

Always possible!! I checked all the listings- no ones reported them missing yet!

Somewhere in a universe far far away is a thread on a forum entitled, "Anyone have luck turning four chickens feral?"
