    It works because “that much further away” is often a fence, wall, or some other corner and then you go one way and the chicken goes the other-into the net. Alternatively you can box them in with the net against whatever they are trying to run into. I’ve only used nets with chicks and pullets but...

    My little grandson.

    Such a wonderful age. They know just enough to burn down the house and pretend they have not the slightest clue what the word “no” means unless they’re using it to shout at vegetables 😆

    Do i have a rooster after all. Her name is Eleanor & recently i saw her on the back of another pullet. She hasn't laid an egg or crowed. The black one

    These were some weird mix of Polish bantams and Black Copper Maran and very young—probably about one. As soon as I got rid of the obvious rooster Todd started crowing.

    What could cause the wound?

    When you say they escaped where did they escape to? A chicken run? The great outdoors? The injury doesn’t appear to be from pecking and if the other pullet is missing it was likely eaten by whatever injured this one. What kinds of predators do you have where you are?

    Is she blind in one eye?

    How does she react when you move your finger toward her eye? Does she startle easily? Does she ever spin in circles? Have you shined a flashlight in her eye to see how her pupil reacts?

    🤞 I am getting a rooster this weekend! I don’t think I make a good substitute either
