The wyandottes will let me get around three feet from them, then they will slowly go the other direction. Maybe if I bring out some watermelon!
From the pictures it looks like it will be hard to find egg prof I would try to catch them and coop them and then you’ll get egg prof
Well, then I'm sure time will convince him, and if that won't your mom will, happy wife happy life! Anyways, if he does decide you can't keep them, you could give them away or maybe even sell them if you can't find their original owner. Just tell him that and try and convince him to help catch them! Or at least convince your mother, or maybe some of your siblings (if u have any)
A net would be a fine idea, though they can be difficult to use and u could hurt them by accident, especially if the holes are big enough to get their necks caught or even some of their toes! I think if you want to use a net u may want to get help from your parents to use it, but I wouldn't worry about them getting tramatized with you catching them by hand, I'd much more be worried about them getting eaten by coyotes before you can catch them! So u should try and do it before tonight.
Good idea! What about the other sibling? You should try and catch the chickens as soon as possible, even if it isn't to keep them for good. Try to talk about alternatives to keeping them in the long run, like returning them to their original owner, which is a good and neighborly thing to do. Or selling them, which may convince your parents if they care at all about money, (and most people do!)
