Chickens can be pretty hard to catch. I guess that the wilder types would be the banties; smaller, faster. I can easily catch our two larger roosters (RI red, white meat-type) but they are big, fat, spoiled butterballs. Now, to catch our little banty hen.. I honestly think that if I had to catch her, or die, I would be dead meat!
But the big roosters do have quite an attack. Our white one got mad when Mark picked up the red. He started karate-kicking Mark trying to get him with his spurs! Ouch, roos have big spurs..
