So, I came home with a 10 week old Japanese Bannie, and as I was transferring her from box to her new home, she went hog wild and escaped. We all tried to catch her and couldn't. She is a VERY good flyer!!! Since she had never known our coop as home, or even our yard as home, I was sure she was gone. She flew deep in the woods. For three days we could hear her out there, but couldn't find her. Then, nothing. I was sure a predator got her. Two weeks later, it's about sunrise and I rounded the corner into the back yard and startled Crazy Penelope!! She jumped, and squawked, and flew back into the woods. I set out a bowl of water there at the woods edge and sprinkled some feed. When I came home from work, I could see her scratchings all around the water bowl. For the next two days (including today) I can spot her every morning at sun up there at the edge of the yard. Any creative ideas on how to capture her? Once I get her, I plan on clipping her wings and "homing" her to our secondary coop by herself for a couple weeks before introducing her to our flock. I doubt she will ever tame, but I hate the idea of just abandoning her to the wild.
Thanks!!
