Yep, its a pullet.

I went to lock my chickens up yesterday and found my Golden Sebright rooster was missing. He is about 7 weeks old and fully feathered but is still very small. We have some tall weeds coming up behind our chicken coop which would offer protection from any predators. The only "predator" that would...

Yes Partridge Rock was correct. Just for kicks here's what he wyandotte mixes turned out to be

OK Thanks. I am glad to hear that I have a D'Uccle I have always wanted one. Any guesses on the genders?

Ok, so I got four bantam chicks from my friend and she had no idea what they were, so here they are, I believe the first two are Golden Sebrights. The next I think could be a Silver Phoenix???? The last I am almost positive is a Buff Brahma. But I am not an expert so any help is appreciated. I...

I have an incubator with 35 good eggs and they are hatching now. I was wondering was when should I remove the chicks that have already hatched to the brooder, and will it hurt the remaining eggs and hatching chicks when I do it?

Ok I didn't know that, but do you think they are big enough to carry away a chicken? I'm not sure how big any of those are?

An owl would be possible but not likely especially since they hunt only at night and you're hen appears to have gone missing in the day. The last time you saw her was in the day and she never came back to the coop to be locked up, is that correct?

No, but you're first guess was extremely close.

I agree with everything Rowsdower has said. Whenever I've had hawks attack they've left the body or a huge pile of feathers. IF it did get taken by a predator it was probably a coyote or a fox. However if it disappeared in the day it probably got stuck or something like that like Rowsdower said...

Ok the father was a dark brahma what was the mother?

Legbar?
