By the way, does anyone have an idea what breed she is?

Im in CT, if she can get a ride--and her original owners dont want her back, of course- she can hitchhike my way.

I am the least knowledgeable on chicken breeds but I do know she is young and real cutie pie!!

Ok, I'm trying to "train" Henny Penny to eat her food in the crate and then I'll close the door behind her! I think this will work the best.

If you can't find her a home, I'll take her! Seriously. I'll pay you for shipping and handling, please let me know! I'm in NJ not far from you! If this sounds good to you PM me.

She's a real beauty! I don't know much about breeds, but it looks like her coloring is spangled...

I think that luring her into the dog crate is a good idea and worth trying at least once. You might want to try getting up before daylight or Henny Penny's usual morning mealtime appointment and put the baited crate on your porch where Henny Penny is used to getting your handout. I would put a plate full of corn well inside the dog kennel then trail just a few pieces to outside the crate door to lure her into the big reward. You could even tie a cord or rope to the crate door to be able to shut it quickly and from a distance once she enters the crate for the prize. Good luck and let us know if you are successful in the capture of Henny Penny.
