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

I have a thought
My daughter is the true farmer (12) and raising birds is her dream. One thing I've learned watching her any where is her calmness. In Hawaii she gets ferrel chickens to eat bugs out of her hands as well as Mallards & geese at the park. Then she pets them. I think being patient and very calm is a key when you are out in the yard or woods and bring along the meal worm bag. Maybe you can leave a few when you find where she nests and get her attention. Then after a few attempts she'll let you get closer and associates those tasty treats to you. Our girls are "worm trained", it's how this "gramma" gets them back in the pen, they follow me like the pied piper when they see/hear that bag. Have fun making a new friend!
