Ok. I admit. Im no spring chicken lol. (pun intended ) But boy oh boy, I couldn't catch even one rooster!!!
We have an abundance of roosters. Poor hens are being run ragged. A friends dad would take all the roosters if we could catch them and bring them over. Easy Peasy!! Right? NOPE. Since my son was having to leave early, we could not wait until dark to catch them so off we went, Kenneth and myself. We had 10 or 11 roosters we needed caught. HA, these roosters were not falling for a feed trap. So I would run them behind the barn and Kenneth would grab one. This did not always work. As a matter of fact, it only worked twice, then the roosters caught on LOL. So after an hour of running back and forth, Kenneth caught 7 roosters and we called it good enough LOL. We can get the others at a later date. My role? Awe..well, I looked pretty good walking back and forth trying to help round them in a corner. And no, I didn't do a very good job BUT we had a blast, lots of laughing and Kenneth Shouting, if you catch this chicken, you can catch grease lightening!!
