Catch the hen first and restrain her to a carrier, then get the chicks.

Question

How to catch a chick in the street? With bait?

Community Answer

Yes, or by calling it if you have trained it. I recommend your chicken's favorite food. Put it in the street and wait.

Question

How do I get a chicken out of a bush and into its pen?

Community Answer

Try food, it works well to draw it out. Rest your hand on the ground, sit still and wait for it to come close, then try to grab its leg.

Question

When feeding my chickens, how do I keep them inside the coop?

Community Answer

Make sure the coop cage/gate is closed while feeding them. Or have a dispenser in the coop, and put the food in there.
