lol, that was me last night, trying to wrangle 13 free ranging 7-wk old chick back to their brooder in the workshop! The chicks were supposed to be in a pen in the yard, but due to a breech of perimeter by a sheep looking for free chick food, they were all over the yard and it was getting late in the day. I tried luring them to their nighttime accomodations with sweet talk, treats, no go. I tried shooing them in the right direction, nope. I got the dog to help herd them, ha ha chicks flying everywhere. By that time it was dark and I was frantic, in a last ditch effort, I ran out waving a big towel and hollering and scared those rascals right back into the broken pen where I was able to pick them up and return them to nice cozy brooder. I returned to the house much relieved and poured a much needed drink.
