Have you figured out how you will capture him, and keep him inside one or your runs???? Or do I need to make that journey west,,, and help you out. ,,,,,,,,,,,you know I would,,

Thank you Cavey...I know you would! I'm not sure what we're going to do yet. I really don't want to cage him up, we might start by just having his food and water in the old pen & hope he realizes that it's a nicer place to hang out when it gets cold. We'll have to figure it out when we get back from Florida.

I recall you were working on getting a hen for him.. I may have missed on how that is coming along...
Second question:: how is that feral chicken that arrived in your coop/run doing..

We still haven't fully decided if we're going to do that or not. We've been gone so much we haven't had time to make any changes to the old pen, so I just don't know when or if that will happen!
She was still running around in our yard before we went to the lake, but I haven't seen her since we came home. I don't know if something got her or if she's possibly sitting on some eggs somewhere. If she doesn't show up in a few weeks, I will have to assume the worst. Hoping she will pop up with a couple of babies in tow!

Hoping for the best for your feral hen. It would be cute to see her return with some chicks.

I like this strategy. Make it his idea.

I'm guessing that you had something to do with my coop page showing up on the home page @N F C
