New to the Forums, but not to raising poultry. Still so much to learn.

Hey! I have spent many years raising chickens, but I haven't had my own flock in a hot minute. But behold, a wild rooster (or abandoned) has shown up on my property and has taken shelter in my barn. Aint mine, nor any of my closest neighbors who owns chickens. Definitely plan on asking some questions in the forums on how to catch and rehab this baby boy!

Hiya, and welcome to BYC!

Only way I know how to catch a reclusive chicken is wait until nightfall when they roost.

Welcome. I bet you will have no rehabbing to do at all. Without hens around - I will tell you that I believe roosters are the best friend a man/women can have. The only reason why this changes with hens is because the rooster's job is to protect the hens with their life, and they do this very well.
