How can I safely catch a stray rooster in my neighborhood to relocate him?

Question

A rooster has arrived in our neighborhood and Animal people are running all over trying to catch him. Is there anything we could put in his water to tranquilize him to move him to the farm? Pet's info: Farm Animal | Farm Chicken | Male

If you're able to get him to eat and drink from water/food dishes, you can place those into a large kennel or humane trap in order to catch Rooty easier. Chickens tend to enjoy mealworms and other treats, so they can often be bribed with them to go into places for being caught.
