She's adorable, I hope you can get her and the baby. You are great to try. Can you let the people know you are working on her so they will withdraw the need to shoot her? It would be best if no other people came around to frighten her while you are trying tame her.

I have caught her. Not the kid though. I brought her home last night and kept her penned. planning on taking her back after work and hoping the baby is hungry enough to be lured to her. I feel bad for separating them but I wasn't able to catch him and he just seemed to get wilder as I tried 
. This may seem like the mean way to go about it but I really do think that this is the best way to get him.

she seems good. just very flighty. she has good body condition, but it did look like she may have vomited yesterday after I got her home. there was some foamy goop under the cage. she also has scurs, but they are growing up.

So glad you caught her, hope the baby is there and ready to come and see mom. Could you rig together some kind of pen, like pieces of stock panel, but her in it on a lead of course, or tied to a tree or something and then maybe the kid will come into the pen and you can close the gate behind him? He can't be very big so doubt he could jump over.
Could the vomit be from being car sick?

I think the vomit was from being car sick. I have not seen the kid since the day I caught her. I went back with her twice yesterday and even though she bleated for him, nothing. I fear the worse.
We have a large coyote population in the area. I assumed that he would follow his normal routine, and where I caught her they frequented each evening and at mid day. She is very sweet. Jumpy, but sweet, and has already settled a lot. Of course, it helps when you have three very persistent girls and a wife who demands all animals be pets(friendly, loving, can't get them out of your way, underfoot, kind of pets)!! we have named her fairy. Since see escaped from the local fair we thought that was fitting.
