Have not found BEN. Haven't heard him crowing either. I suspect some kind of foul play (No pun intended) My neighbors are also looking all around for him. I am very sad about this situation.
The flock dynamics have changes somewhat since BEN's disappearance. My other two roos are louder with their crowing, and the ladies seem to be more aggressive towards each other. I have added more feeding stations, water jars, and I may have to use the "Time out" cage again (I really hope not though) I am also limiting their free ranging time for (When I can supervise)
