Anyone with experience getting a feral rooster used to roosting in a pen? There is a feral rooster that has been hanging around here with my hens since his last two went missing. I was wondering about how long I would need to pen him up in the pen to get him to return to it instead of the pines at the edge of the property. I worry about him being up there in the rain storms we have, not to mention the lightening. He was limping last week and I caught him and penned him up two nights but soon as it started getting dark he took off the third night. His leg was better and he could get over the fence with no problem.
