Hi, I'm new here. My name is Amber.
My husband and I have a flock of what is now I would guess wild chickens 'staying' at our place. They showed up two months ago or so and haven't left so I'm thinking they are not returning to where they got away from. Anyway... The rooster was attacked by my stupid dog who escaped his collar. This normally NEVER happens. I believe his ankel/leg is broken. This happened fathers day to give you a time line. The rooster is limping today worse than he has been in the past few days. His leg is not the same tan color as the non-injured leg. It's turning a grey/white. We want so much to catch him and care for his injury. We are even willing to go out tomorrow and build him and his two hens a coop. Problem.... we don't know how to catch him without hurting him more. They currently roost directly outside our house in a dogwood tree. Yet we have tried so hard to figure out how to get him from there, and are stumped. Please help us, any advice how to lure, capture this bird to help him would be most appriciated. I've come to love this little brood so much and don't want to see him suffer.
