New chicken mom

Mahalo everyone! Glad I found you!!

Sooo, I could not catch Rosie to put her in the coop even though we were in the run. She kept walking and clucking, so did her babies, and every time I reached for her she did not really like it. Any technique advice ?

Hi and welcome to BYC!
The easiest way to catch a chicken is to wait for them to go to sleep. Or you can try using a long handled fishing net. Good luck!

Mahalo to all for the welcome ! So even if she has babies under her when she is asleep; it’s ok to pick her up?

Welcome to BYC! The chickens you find in Hawaii are mixes between jungle fowl, game fowl and domestic chickens that have either been let loose or escaped. That is why you see so many gorgeous colors and markings and stunning roosters! Your Rosie is a pretty bird. Congratulations on your new pet/friend. They do make wonderful pets!

Aloha everyone,
One of Rosie’s 2 babies is a rooster- I thinkSo at some point can I take him out of the coop? And could I introduce a different hen about the same age as the rooster? What will both moms feel? Thanks
