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

Oh no! Broken ankle? I hope you feel better!!!

No, I'm a school nurse, it was one of my clumsy teenagers! I use what I have to work with, period pads are great for heavy bleeds and padding splints, lol!

Did Sqatch Chicken ever show up on the cameras? Or was Mr.Squatch the only rouge?

UPDATE??

No recent Squatch sighting. Her husband stole the trail cam back so no more pictures. Still have our fingers crossed that she'll reappear. Squatches are very elusive.

I think my fingers have given up! Still this was a super fun thread! Hit me if she ever shows up!

Will do.

I love mamas and babies!

I got the pictures to transfer. Yay!

Mama and the chicks LOVE running through the remnants of the garden.

What is really cute, is watching Mama try to keep 10 fist sized puff balls warm under her. I just went out and put her and the babies back in their run/shelter. I think it is a little cold for the babies today.

Still no sign of the hen.

Mr. Squatch appears to have moved on with another lady and on with his life. He has integrated well into the Bantam crew.

I pulled the game cam because the battery finally died and my hubby needed it for hunting.

I'll keep looking to see if she turns back up. But so far nothing.

UPDATE??

I'm so glad to be back... well as back as I can be.



All the chicks are good, we are all trying to adjust to the cold snap.

I'm curious, how cold is it where all of you are located?

50* F. here today That's warm! 20* F. here at night, and supposed to snow on Friday.

Thanks for the warning. I hope they eat it. Their run is barren. My girls dance Tues, Wed, Thurs so it's hard for us to get over there early enough to let them out for a bit before dance class. The other week days I get out of work by 4ish so they don't get much outside time now.. I'm sure they can live on feed alone, but I feel bad that they aren't getting any greens.

QUOTE] Do you have a video of your chickens at dance class?

Y'all! I put ole Reggie in the chicken show on here online!

Here is the link. (I think I did this right.)

You can enter 2 entries and the deadline is 10/31!

I think the birds have to be over a certain age, but a lot of y'all have some great looking birds and I think they'd do good in it!
