I let the white silkies out today in the grass. Easy enough to get them back in. I just called the rooster, Ashes, by his name twice and he ran to hide out in the pen. The hens followed him in.
Poor Ashes. I've given him nightmares about cameras and he really doesn't want me deciding he needs to me a model again. Once I get him, he's very well behaved. He doesn't even try to run off unless he can see his pen, then he gets calculating and will try to make a break for it if I put him on the ground.
