I went out to feed my poults and chicks lunch and one is just GONE. They are in a VERY secure coop with no way out, Except the door and sometimes they get past me, But I didnt notice any at breakfast time and she is just gone :( Ugh! I really liked her, Thought I had a breeding pair and not to mention turkeys are way more pricey then chicks to buy! UGHHHHHHHHHHH

If there was absolutely no way for her to escape you may have a two-legged predator lurking about.  Time to prime the paint ball gun........

I'm sorry! I hate that. Maybe she will turn up! How old was she? Maybe is she is small she is just hidden somewhere and you just overlooked her. I've done it...

I had a similar problem, we searched EVERYWHERE but to no avail, in the end i let the dogs out, and they found her hiding in the neighbours garden in a massive patch of nettles.

Hope you find her

Have you found her? I know it can be traumatizing to all involved when you lose a bird.
