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

Well, we are looking into subtraction right now. We have 3 white leghorn pullets that are just..... oh just gawdawful..... they are mean, mean spirited bullies that I feel would harm the new Nuggets once they were moved in with the flock. I know they picked on Xena relentlessly while she was broody, but she tolerated it better than I did... which mde me move her with a nest of fake eggs before I got her real eggs in.. just to keep her safe. Now, I feel to keep the flock safe, I will need to cull those 3.

I'll come help. I could do it to a bully I swear.

Me too, but my tiny coop is a palace and is comes with a really cool story.
I'll tell you guys one day.

Really??? You are gonna make us wait for the story??? Story and pics please!

I only have 7 hens and 7 roosters

I wish I had bigger coops...

How does that work? Are they all together?

Yeah... these 3 will be the first ones I cull... and they will CERTAINLY be easy for me to do... definitely a-holes........

Too late at night to start a good story!
I'll pull my thoughts together and start it soon.
Pinkie swear.

I hope to someday live in a different house with a rooster of my own!
7+7=wow

I built a second one and I might have to add on to my big coop like a room addition

My only leghorn is second in command the RIR is the queen and rooster always stays near them
