Thanks, but I just let them out after a few weeks of being in the coop ... that's when the three decided to not return at all, instead of just that one.
I guess I could keep them permanently in their coop and run ... but that's gonna be the last resort. I really don't want to do that to them.
I have a situation that I'm trying to work out... may be a bit wordy, but trying to give all details that may or may not be pertinant.
I have a small flock of 4 hens. One of them I raised from a day old (I had 4, but 3 of them turned out to be roosters), the others I got from another person...
