    One of our girls was missing for over two weeks...

    One evening over two weeks ago, one of our girls, Henrietta, vanished into thin air. We searched everywhere for days to no avail, and eventually resigned ourself to preparing for the worst. Yesterday morning we got a fresh batch of pullets in from a nearby farm and were in the garden...

    Lost rooster!

    So my family has a rooster and almost a week ago he escaped and hasn’t come home. I didn’t realize then, but now I’m realizing that us trying to capture him probably scared him and I think he’s lost now or in hiding. From the sound of his crow that I’ve heard it sounds like he’s maybe a block or...

    Help! Chicks escaped!

    Hello. I have a small farm in my backyard with twelve chickens (six juvenile, six fully adult layers.) Our fence is secure all around our yard, but we have a wooden gate with big gaps. I didn’t have any issues until yesterday, when I found them on the front lawn. I tried to block the holes, but...

    A Happy Ending to a Lost Hen Story

    Hi everyone! I wanted to share what I think is truly a miracle. My Rhode Island Red, Daisy, went missing six days ago. We were all at work, and when everyone came home there were only the other two hens and three giant piles of feathers. We were devasted. We were convinced a fox had eaten her...
