How to trap an escaped chicken

[gamefowl guy]

Watch her a while before dusk and see where she roosts, then just grab her and bring her home . . .

Just wanted to update that the neighbor saw and reported where she was going to roost. So I recruited one friend and we wrangled her. Really helps to have more than one person! She was really high up the tree so after we grabbed the tallest limb we could reach and accidentally shook her out while we were trying to bend her down to with in reach. Chased her around for about 20 min but she ran into a hedge row and "thought" she was safe but her tail was sticking out!

And I was worried about re introducing her to my flock as she had been gone for 3 weeks, but she walked right back in and said she was in charge. Takes up 1/2 of the available roosting bar for 6 birds. But everyone is settled and happy now. Thanks for all the replies!

I make a clicking noise when i give treats.
now anytime I want them back into the run from ranging or an escape I make the clicking noise and then come running!
