Did you catch him?

Nope! My hubby and I tried for an hour. Even set up a fishing line to shut the full of food cage from our window. Nope. Then I tried a fishing net and got close but nope. Quite frustrating and depressing. I am so worried about him as we have dogs and coyotes in the area not to mention the freezing temps. He has no safe sleeping area.
We will keep trying. I’ll let you know if we succeed. As of right now though, he is stuffed with bird seed, meal worms, bread, bird suet, and honeydew. Ha
 
Do you have a fishing net? I catch my chickens with a fishing net. You do have to be careful to catch them on the first try though, once they realize what's up, they are great at finding a tree or bush to hide in where the net can't reach.

You might try only putting food in the dog kennel. He is fairly likely to go in after the food, especially since you are giving him treat like foods.

I did try a fishing net! And you are right, he was so trusting the first time, even curious what I was holding but a swing and a miss and off he went.
I will just toss his treats into the dog kennel and get him used it! Good idea. I’ll get that little stinker one of these days and hope he goes to a nice farm and gets to chase hens!
