You said it’s 4 ft high. Does it have a cover? They can get out of a 4 ft high enclosure without too much trouble. If the 2 had a buddy relationship, then if one went out, then the other would have followed. Keep looking everywhere even a place you wouldn’t think they’d go. I found one I’d...

I wrote awhile back about having one rooster to our 5 hens. Definitely an oopster. But, when you get chicks at a day old, sometimes it happens. Our only problem is the legality of keeping a rooster in our county...it’s illegal! But, they are now 6 months old, happy, healthy and we still have...
