Your opinion

[Lenny loves chickens]

I think that of all threads.
I will have time to be patient tomorrow. I'll sit around and see if I can lure her closer to me.

Lol I feel same way...no pics....moving on

I hope so because this thread is worthless without pics.

This was the best I could do. She is not a willing girl. When she hears me come outside she takes off. I got this one through my security camera.

Can you let yours out and see what happens?

 

[STACEYH]

No. Mine have to stay penned in. I am thinking, If my girls lay early tomorrow and it isn't raining, I will close the coop from the run. Then I can let the coop door remain open. With Feed and water inside she may go in. I found she is sleeping in my magnolia bush next to the coop and run.

I’d keep it, provided there is enough space.

I agree

What about going out after dark, staying quiet with no light so you don't startle her and grabbing her if she's low enough? Of course it's never that easy though. Any progress made @STACEYH

Butcher and burn.

The mere presence of the bird risks my NPIP - which is why I keep poultry on approx 5 acres of my 30 total - I have a buffer, for lots of reasons.

The bird's remains can enrich my soil - I have acres of it in desperate need.

My neighbor and I did try to get her a few nights ago. She went higher up into the bush (15ft tall) and yesterday she left. I was hoping to get her before something else did. Maybe she found a better yard.
