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

[staceyj]

I wonder if that is the noise they make.

...only if you step on one!!!

Maybe we all need to head down there and lock arms then set off into the woods listening for that sound.........

Nah! That might be a bad idea...... Don't need no Squatch catcher pummeling me for stepping on Mrs. Squatch.

Can't help you about the glitches but if your feeling stress about THE INCREDIBLE CHICKEN CAPER OF 20-17
Don't worry.
It's all going to end up ok.
And @theuglychick is a bada** strong smart woman with three dogs and a husband to back her up.
Just think of how this story will evolve over the years...
Her kids are going to think she's Wonder Woman!

You might just need some...
Cheetos!
Or chips and dip!
It's the crunching...
Helps dissipate the nerves...
I might run to the store and get something munchie.
Want anything?

Yes.... double stuff Oreos

Update: still nothing but I didn't get to walk around as much as I would have liked because when I went to try to snap some pics of Mr. Squatch, he jumped down and immediately went to try to fight one of the other bantams, which made him easy to catch and provided some insight as to why someone may have just turned such a pretty bird loose.

That incident also quashed the Squatch-Pad idea

So I got him back secured and got a few more pics.

Here's my other naughty boys.

Obviously I had to break them up.

Here is Hei Hei with a Cream Legbar hen.

I'm going to reposition the trap and see if there's anything tomorrow.

On another note: Ive got eggs pipping tonight!

Wow! Handsome fellas!

 

[21hens-incharge]

WOW his colors are COOL!
Your other boys are pretty darn healthy looking now.


Maybe the little lady will come around hearing the fellas crowing.

Can you put the Mr in his cage out by where you caught him to see if the Mrs will show up?

Squatch Update #207:

Ok the trap is ready to be put out. I guess.

The spot on the floor next to the trap is chicken poop.

I cleaned it up.

The days not complete without chicken poop! They always seem to go when you don't want them too. LOL
