i have a problem

[joethenuts]

i have an item ready to be picked up [by the way this is 100% true  if someone can help me download the picture here on this post i will] i have a chicken on my roof ,its been there for nearly 3 weeks ,  there is a large tree at the front of my house hanging over the front of my roof, cant catch the chicken which we have free to a good home .found a person who has a small farm with chickens  ready to take it there . but i cant get the chicken on the ground so that i can put it in a large box for transport.  any ideas.

by the way i feed it everyday with a bowl of food and water . even my cat has been on the roof and this chicken is too smart  , even pidgeons go up to his food ,and the chicken chases it.

thank you if you can help

ps  i have a good exuse if i get a defect to ebay if i cant deliver on time lol.

As rose said.

Stop feeding them. They will go and sponge off somebody else.

If your missus won't even eat the eggs (why? they are free range and without a rooster aren't going to produce more chooks) then you are simply building their dependence on you. AND WILL NEVER LEAVE!

mmmm  do you have possums  or birds ever come to your house , whats the diffrence, also these chickens dont let you get a meter away from you.

so you want me to break into a dentist place , should i wear a chicken mask  or wear a superman outfit in the middle of the night on a main street and after a whie a police car comes up , and asks me what are you up to , and i say trying to catch a chicken called chong, do you think they are going to believe me. or take me to the nutty bin..

a chicken is a bird , only a dog has to have a leash on the street cats and birds dont .

lol    dave

what came first the chicken or the egg, well we know the chicken.

what came first the chicken or the feed well we know the chicken.

if we did not feed the chicken it woud still be on the roof it was up there for weeks.  but when it came down i had a plan to catch it then the other chicken came on the scene.

now how can i win against 1 female   let alone 2 females+ the missus

Doubtful. If it could con somebody into feeding it. YOU were hand delivering food and water to it on the roof. Why would it go elsewhere when it had already found the perfect mug?

[joethenuts]

true maybe i am a bit week that way.

Ok, it was said early in the thread that chooks are docile at dark, and belive me they are, you should be able to catch the chook, when you go to catch the chook, aim low at its legs so that you catch the chook's legs between your thumb and index finger, be mindfull of its spurs, and when you have caught the chook it will flap its wings, and it might sting your hand, but dont let go, put the chook in a cage head first and let go of the chook and close the cage as quick as you can before the chook gets to its feet again and trys to get out.

[joethenuts]

thats fine but the chook goes up the tree at aprox 5 pm , to a height of about 4 meters , the other chook that sleeps at the dentist up a tree , do you suggest i carry a ladder  and break into the dentist ,and hopefully dont set the alarms,mmmm

i think i will try something else .thank you.

Errr, trebuchet, slingshot, bow and arrow, blowgun or maybe a picture of a cute rooster sitting in the cage..............

Spoiler

Or get a real rooster and drive your neighbours nuts................................then they'll get the chook down for ya..........

[bakeandfry]

Why yes Joe, thats exactly what in suggesting to do *go brake into the dentist*

Can you put something around the tree to stop it getting up there?
