Oh I love them....there used to be a flock near where I worked...they would wander the streets in the early hours of the morning then be home in time for peak traffic...

I find them really peaceful....esp in a paddock or vineyard

[channys_mum]

I do too. They come when they are if you raise them from little as I have done with all mine.

[channys_mum]

Forgot to say that whilst they come when they are called they wont let you catch them.

2 more caught and 2 to go.

When I was very young, we had a poultry farm.  

Dad made a "chook crook".  A piece of 8guage wire, about 3 foot long. One end curved to come back down the main stem for about 6 inches.  

Catch them around the ankles - not the neck

Do they --taste like chicken?......just asking...........................Richo.

[lurker172602]

Why do you need to catch them?

[lloydslights]

I forgot to add :  twirl the ends away from the straight length like a kiss-curl to prevent damage to the prey and yourself.
