Thanks everyone for your helpful words. I love this community so much!!! the last two eggs were also dead :( I o have some good news though. I only hatched one chick. I am still grateful. !

Update: So, he/she was dead. upon closer inspection it looks like she was dead a while ago. Not sure what happened. After candle lighting on day 5, I haven't touched the egg. Don't know what could possibly do this. I have attached a graphic picture to show you what it looked like. here is a link...

I cant tell if he/she is breathing or not. I do see blood vessels on the egg sac which tell me that maybe she is still absorbing the nutrients but unsure. I read somewhere that destroying the egg sac before they have absorbed all the nutrients will surely cause them to die. Not sure how i can...

So I was incubating about 10 eggs or so and day 21 rolls around. Nothing popped out. I waited a few more days (25) and a single chick came out.Great!!! then i thought it shouldn't be much longer now for the rest. Well, I candle lit a few and noticed that they were liquid on the inside. So I took...

anybody else?

I have not seen her get pecked at, she is lower in the pecking order but the other chickens generally peck at each others necks not above the vent. my chickens have had mites and louse in the past but that's the first thing i checked and she is clean. It looks like she might be the only one...

can anyone identify what is wrong with my chicken ?

I recently noticed that one of my chickens has been laying very soft eggs. Today noticed one of my chickens trying to to lay and egg all day in the yard. I isolated her int the coop to keep an eye on her. Later at night i noticed that she laid a broken egg. I looked at her vent an noticed it...

So about 5 weeks ago my Americana hen stared to limp around the yard and she got a really poopy butt. She has so much poop stuck to her butt that i had to use scissors to cut off the dried poop blocking her butt. A few days latter she was laying in the run not moving. we immediately brought...

I found my Rhode Island Red! Sunday last week we got two Rhode Island Reds. Tuesday one Rhode Island Red jumped out of the7 foot fence when we were not there and vanished . Tuesday night i put a poster by my subdivision exit. Wednesday brings heavy storms and rain all day. Wednesday night I...

Will any rooster work? or one that she knows? Will this work with mature hens?

Is it a bad idea to take the other Rhode Island Red with me when i search? will the other one come out of hiding? Is it a bad idea to put her in a cage outside of the fence in hopes she comes to her?

Thanks this is so helpful! She is a little over a year old and she is laying quite big eggs. Before she ran away she laid 2 large eggs. I told the previews owner and she told me she may not be that far away. I will def put a light out tonight. I know for sure she is not in my yard i checked 7...

Thanks! ill keep looking. I do see quite a few hawks on the highway patrolling for small game and it bothers me to think that that was her fate. The problem i have is that i have a 7ft fence around my property, she was only on my property for 2 days and the following day rained hard all day so i...

She was docile and easy to pickup in the coop but outside of the coop she would try and get away, just wouldn't try too hard. So its possible for someone to catch her. The farm she came from is about 25 min drive north east of my property. Do you think its possible for her to go that far in two...

Ill look and see if there is a facebook page for my town. Thanks! I don't think there are any flocks near me, at least i don't know about any. see attached aerial with property highlighted in red.

Thanks eveyone who has replied. I do however still need answers. How far can chickens run? is there a way i can get her to come back? Since she is new to my property will she even think to come back? how long before i give up? is there a good resource website that i can use to post...

She has not come back yet. I printed a lost chicken poster and put one in everyone mailbox in case they see her.

She was part of a larger flock of free range chickens.

I dont think she ran in the road, i dont see any feathers. I did come home after dark. Do you guys know where they like to hide? How far i should expand my search radius? I know there are predators but her wings were not cliped and she could easily jump a 7 ft fence
