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

[Chicken_Guru]

This is definitely not a bantam. I don't know where she came from. No one else around me has chickens.

Uhm... "This is definitely not a bantam." Yeah...

okay now I am hooked also need to find out I am in Sasquatch heaven Washington state
Mossyrock to be exact so any luck on any of them people want to know

Haha, I know!

I only saw the hen at first and she (or the streak of her) was (or appeared) bigger than this one and the bantams that I have. This little rooster IS DEFINITELY a bantam!

The good news is that my husband has witnessed the Squatch sighting first hand. I'm no longer the village crazy lady! For him, up until this evening it was basically Schroedingers chicken. He didn't witness it, it didn't exist.

Sadly, our interpretation of what it all means differs greatly.

To him... someone's chickens got away or were dropped off... 'mo chickens, 'mo problems. Desperately not wanting to have more chickens, he texted the neighbor to inquire if it was his chickens. Neighbors response indicated he may have been drunk.

To me, the heavens opened up, holy light shone down on my wood line, and the chicken gods bestowed onto me, their good and faithful chicken servant, two sacred birds, making me the patron saint of chickens. Even though I'm not at all catholic.

Just my thoughts.

But... we shall see what tomorrow brings. Be safe everyone. Have a good one. Prayers and thoughts going out to a lot of people tonight.

Omg that's so funny

 

[theuglychick]

Yes, which is why my husband texted him to inquire if any of his chickens had gotten loose.

Can't wait until tomorrow. I totally agree with you that the heavens opened up & bestowed upon you two beautiful chickens for you to look after. No such thing as mo' chickens, mo' problems. That doesn't exist. Mo' chickens, mo' fun!

If it's feral truly feral most likely it's not roosting in a tree . But hiding in a thicket .Chickens are natural hiders and seem to have a built in ability to find the perfect camouflage to match their color . Be interesting to see how this turns out Good luck .
