One of the most trying chores on the farm (and quite often, the most embarrassing) is attempting to catch chickens. In this installment of My Favorite Farm Tool, Pa Mac explains a simple tool—the chicken catcher— which can help salvage your dignity and spare you from humiliation in your efforts to raise chickens. This tool can be bought or made right on the small farm or homestead from some heavy gauge wire.

Check back often for future episodes of "My Favorite Farm Tool" with Pa Mac. Most episodes will feature an explanation and description of various antique farm hand tools, along with helpful tips for restoring, maintaining, and using them.
