A while back I got three SS chicks from a small a Breeder/hatchery and two turned out to be cockerels, leaving me with one pullet.
She is a small, tough and independent kind of hen, very good at getting out of their run, and smart enough to get back in. She started laying, and didn't miss a day until recently when I started to notice that there wasn't any eggs from her. I just thought that she was taking a break, until one day she disappeared. We look everywhere for her but came to the conclusion that a fox must have got her on her wonderings.
I finally found her a good way from the run, hidden at the base of a tree sitting on around 18 eggs. She's still sitting on them, although I did take a few away, and they should be hatching next week sometime. Here's a photo I got of her today, when she was having a break.
