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

[theuglychick]

Sadly, not much of a life outside of this, lol.

So... everyone meet Pigeon, my guinea-(pig)chicken.

I'm definitely going to have to weigh the "thingy" down. And that's the actual technical term. I checked.

What do y'all recommend for a weight?

Seriously.
You have a life outside of this?

Lolol
*Said the mom of four grown and almost grown kids.

You tube it!
You can learn to do almost anything on you tube.

Squatch update# 192:

Is this trap upside down?!

I'm happy dancing over here and hubbs is looking at me like I lost my dang mind...again...

She said again

 

[theuglychick]

Oh, it was definitely upside down.

Found the handle!

Now we are cooking with grease!

That's good to know because it was kind of functioning like a guillotine upside down.

Duct tape and quarters

Oh dear!! Mr. Squatch would be upset is the Mrs. lost her head!

He's really beautiful. I looked around for hen but didn't hear or see her. I'll wait to see if she comes out tomorrow then resort to using traps.

He definitely doesn't look like a 6 year old rooster. To me, he looks like a young (under 1 year old) cockerel.
