I GOT AN EGG!!!! This is my first egg, yay! My RIR " Little Red Hen " started singing the egg song 2 days ago. I knew it was coming, and today was the day. So.. excited. (Didn't even get the straw in the box yet)

CONGRATS!!!! I feel your excitement!

Sad news. One of my chicks is missing. I kept counting and counting. She is gone. I know (so far) it is not a Jersey Giant or Barred Rock. I THINK I ruled out Red Star. I am pretty sure she was a Partridge Rock. I am ticked with myself

because I knew predators had the ability to get in during the day, but I am not as bothered as if it were a Barred Rock or even Jersey Giant. Plymouth Rock was added only because it made the order cheaper (ha ha! I made a joke!

)
I have closed the brooder (these babies are only a week old) now, and will be more careful. I am concerned it was one of the neighbor's cats. Darn things have eaten a few of their chicks. Anyway, I do feel bad, and keep thinking I will find it somewhere (denial or hope?). Hope nothing tries to come back for more!

You are not going to believe this... The chick (it was a Partridge Rock) was down by the coop! I still don't know what happened, but I know it was gone all day today. I am just stunned!!
