missing

My cockerel (Noodle) went missing this evening and I’m worried sick. I suspect he got into a fight with his father (Pingu) but noodle is nowhere to be found. He’s not in any bushes, trees or plants, not in the coop, under any benches or anything. Ive looked all over my garden for him and even in...

My sister keeps some chickens on a homestead in the rural USA. Last night, her favorite chicken did not come home, which was worrisome to all of us. This is her story.

I have a total of 8 hens. 4 are Silver Laced Wyandottes. 1 of them is the dominant hen. The other 3 have feathers missing from the area where it would usually be missing from a rooster and it's very red. I have seen her mount other hens. No blood that I can see and no sign of pests that I can...

I have a chick that hatched about a week and a half ago. After my chickens were closed up in the coop, I saw the chick eat and drink and then it went under mama. This morning, I went out and the chick was missing. I check thoroughly under both mamas and throughout the bedding. Our coop is...

Hi my name is Brittany or Britt as most people call me. I'm a newish owner of 8 chickens, and 1 gorgeous turkey! They are all free range but at night they go into the coop and then every morning they are let back out. I was gone all day, (which I've done many times before) and then came home and...

This morning, I let the chickens out of their coop, into their run, and all twelve were healthy and in stable condition. This evening, when I went to put the chickens back in the coop, I found one chick dead and decapitated. My run is made of 1/4" hardware cloth all the way round, with a...

Last year I had a flock of 20, that was unfortunately reduced to 1 when a Coyote found a weak point in the run. The 1 is not living with my mother. My partner and decided to get some more birds this year, and we got 8 chicks, and 2 ducklings. Had them for about 3 weeks now, and one of the...

Edit: I found her. Thank God I bought 4 young sebright hens yesterday, my dad accidentally left the door to their coop open and one got out, he noticed to late and wasn't fast enough to catch her. She run off into the woods around our house and I'm devastated rn. Is there a chance she can find...

Good Evening Everyone, On Saturday I woke up and forgot to close my coop the night before. Went out to find feathers everywhere and 3 chickens outside the coop mostly eaten. The pole for the run had been bent over as well. That nigt I fortified the run and realized that over 20 chickens...

Hey everyone! I don't know if there is anyone that help, but some thing grew out of concern in the last 2 days. We had a mommy and her 6 ducklings that would always come to my community and eat. We do not own them or anything, they are free to do whatever they want. They just happen to come to...

I love in Farmington, Mn. A Muscovey Duck has been in my backyard the last 4 days. I have a wet marshy area with flowing creek water behind my house. I also saw a coyote back there 3 days ago. Duck is friendly but hesitate when I get to close. Please PM me if you know anyone.

My neighbor's 3 new Cochins went missing without evidence of a predator attack, and we think someone stole them. She had just adopted them recently from Nevin's Farm in MA; we live in Southern NH. They were part of a group that was abandoned in a cat carrier. The two hens are Rose and...

Hi all, this morning when I got up I am usually greeted by three Muscovy walking over to get breakfast but today there were only two. I'm pretty sure the one missing is a female as she is slightly smaller than the other two, but I'm new to Muscovy so I am not sure. There aren't any signs of a...

This morning my chickens were attacked by a fox. I was in my office room, which overlooks the coop and where the chickens walk around during the day, when all of a sudden I hear them going crazy only to find that when I looked out the window I saw a fox leaping mid-air after my chickens. I ran...

Hey guys! I’m new to the sight as a member but have visited many times while in the process of purchasing and raising my ducks. I have a conundrum, and I’m hoping some insight from here will give me more information than what my research has... I have 4 mallard ducks that I bought as ducklings...

Tulsa/Broken Arrow area near 71st and Garnett. 3 red hens believed to be Americonos or something similar. Cloud, Red, and Spot. My girls desperately miss them. They may have hopped into trees as they can flutter quite high. They don't like being picked up but aren't really afraid of people...

On or about Today Afternoon, on the main Street in MonticellO, New-york, an older modell SUV and person, with a medium size Decale reading "CRAZY CHICKEN LADY" with flank hens (red sex links most likely). Who ever knows them and asks them to get in touch, will get a REWARD, not figured out yet...

We have an automatic door for the coop. I only had 7 to begin with as were just starting out. They are 18 weeks old today. I had my original 3 cockerels and 4 hens. We were letting nature do it’s thing and let the head honcho choose his victims instead of picking them off ourselves...

I own 8 call ducks, ive raised them all by hand and I love them more than anything. When I went away on holiday I put my father in charge and told him to not let my broody call duck out whilst I was gone for 2 days. She is amazing at "hide and seek" and its rare to find her once shes found a...

I have four backyard Easter Egger hens that are now just under a year old (hatched last April). No roosters. I just noticed this week that two of the hens are missing some feathers on the underside of their neck, just under their head. And one chicken is missing a large patch of feathers...
