   My son cleaned out the old chicken coup and set aside the stuff he   
   shoveled up.  He finally put his egg layer chicks in the small part of   
   the coup and they seem happy.   
      
   I the process one chick got loose and he hasn't caught it yet.  It's   
   taken refuge under the workshop.  Got any ideas how to lure the chick   
   out and catch it?
