I am so sad. Our Buff Orpington "Princess Lilypad" (named by my 5 yo niece) is gone. Coop is fully secure and predator proof, but she had a tendency to wander while free ranging (supervised), and made many escape attempts in the evenings when I was removing water. I fear that she popped off somewhere and became dinner for a coyote. We also have skunks, raccoons, hawks, owls, etc.
No carcass, signs of struggle, blood, feathers, etc. and my dogs didn't pick up any scent on the property. I have not done a nighttime count before, but I won't forget ever again. Here's a photo of the crew when she was still here, and one of her in her favorite mud hole.
Okay back to crying my eyes out now.
