I just wait until after they roost at night. Easier to do medical evaluations. They aren't as stressed since they haven't been chased around. And they are more compliant

I would have a major issue trying to do that if hen didn't go willingly, have 2 roosters and a drake that protect the hens and I swear roosters never sleep

The barred rock is honery enough he will try to kill anything that upsets his hens, funny to see him think he could take on a 400 lb heifer calf if they get to close to them

I just scope out my target, snatch her out and close the door to the coop. The others never even noticed what happened. And can't do a darn thing about it. That is how I catch the birds that are being relocated to other homes. Catch at night and put in a crate in the shed. Even with the roosters

I figured that's how it worked.

Also totally unrelated, but I wanted to share the cookbook my best friend got me for Christmas.

If you say it twice is it twice as nice?

Nothing to look at but snow, snow, & more snow anyway. 'Course you could look out another window & look at some different snow.
I've never had migraines, but I hear they can be nasty. I hope you get some relief soon; no fun being incapacitated,  

Morning Whites!
Had enough of looking at snow lately anyways, very over rated.
I get a migraine about every three months. Docs can't figure it out, I just chalk them up to stress.
They are a beech when they happen, but I think the hangover is harder to deal with. Pain can be managed, feeling to beat up to even sit upright after drives me nuts.
On the bright side, it did convince me to take my first full day off work since New Years

@kwhites634 @fire370 Yeah I laughed. The other option was 50 Shades of Chicken.

My friends know an easy gift for me is either chicken stuff or cookbooks.

Noticed one of my girls favoring one leg a bit yesterday; not bad, just noticeable. Have to keep an eye on her; make sure she can keep getting around alright. Not a lot I can do about it; can't catch her without a net, which would probably make it worse. They all gather ;round me whenever I walk out the door, but picking one up is an altogether different proposition.

You could shot her long enough to catch her and check her out.

Have a classic comeback for that, but I'll stifle it
