Wild Wyandottes! What should I do?

[Alyssa-Bee]

A couple days ago my neighbors called, explaining that there were chickens in their yard! I went over to investigate and found two pretty gold laced wyandottes (Atleast I think that's what they are!) Any ideas on what to do? Should I try to catch them? Leave them? Are they too old to lay...? The rest of the family doesn't really want to have anything to do with them, although if they would be giving eggs, maybe? I don't know what to do! all advice appreciated!
(I'll try to get a picture of them at some point)



(Arrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrg I guess I can't edit anymore!)

Problem is they don't read thru before replying.
You can have the thread closed to further replies if you get tired of answering.

I don't really mind people not reading through much... and kind of enjoy replying, it helps motivate me to do more .

Okay, I'm going out to see if the wyandottes are ready to be closed up. It is 8:30 PM right now.

Starburst let me pet her when I came out. They were both following me around too, asking for food and then for me to shut their coop. They were totally talking, and it was adorable!

If the do have mites u can treat the with diatomaceous earth it’s safe and very effective

Wow! Just read through this thread! It was very exciting! I’m so happy you caught them, they are so pretty and I love the names! I’m so happy you’ve done the right thing and even quarantined them! Gosh, I wish there were wild chickens in my neighbours yard!

So happy for Alyssa and Starburst and Tiger!

I didn't see any... also I've heard some mixed opinions about diatomaceous earth.
