We had just brought our chickens home from our lake place to our house in the heart of Kansas City, but before we could get them all in the new coop one of them ran/flew away. This particular hen is great at flying. A week went by and I had just about given up hope of finding her when our homes association sent out an e-mail asking if anybody knew anything about a chicken loose in the neighborhood.
She is residing in the backyard of two houses about a block from us. They have lots of foliage and some really large trees. Anytime the chicken senses danger she flies up into the tree. She sleeps in the tree.
Does anybody have any suggestion on how we can get her out of the tree? We can never get close to her while she is on the ground as she will quickly take flight.
Thoughts?
