From Vintage Story Wiki

For capturing wild animals, three different methods can be employed:

  1. Craft: Create a Reed basket trap and bait it. Small animals might enter the trap. The player then has a window of time to transport the captured animal to an enclosure and release it before it dies inside the basket.
  2. Active: Provoke the boar or bighorn sheep with a weak attack. In return, the animal will try to attack the player. If the player then runs away from them, they will follow for a short distance. This behavior can be used to guide them into carefully prepared animal pens. If you encounter a group of animals together, try only antagonizing the males, as the females will automatically follow their male counterpart. Wild hens will always try to flee from the player, while wild roosters will occasionally try to attack; again, use this to your advantage by chasing them into a pen.
  3. Passive: In an area nearby the animals to capture, dig a pit at least 2 blocks deep and place a trough with food portions in it. Wait for the animals to fall into the pit trap, and convert the pit into the animal pen. Players can also chase wild chickens into this pit trap.
