But....with a cat around, you'd think he'd grab her? And plus, without heat, wont she be dead?

Not necessarily

Well...this cat has gotten a chick out of an incubator, almost killed it...its reasonably cold...shes 4 days old (As of today) Im going to search....it seems so strange that shes disappeared without a trace. Its either i find her dead or alive, but i hate when a chick goes missing and i dont know if its dead or alive..that keeps me up at night. I dont know where to start looking   


ETA: I was looking in some Un- usual places, and i said "Pocket" and I SWEAR i heard a cheep, but i cant see anything!!

YouTube chicks peeping!!!

Never feel bad about "going on" over losing a little one - they're definitely the hardest to get over. Keep us posted if any clues develop!

Oh no!

I hope you can find her, one way or another. Preferably a positive way...

I would look with a flashlight, she is dark and probably hard to see! Look under things for sure! I also try being grateful in advance for finding things and it really helps them show up sometimes!!

X 2!

Agreed. These little birds grab onto our hearts. We're here hoping you find pocket. I'm sure many of us have been there too!

Oh no!

X 2 as well! I've had both chicks and keets go missing for half and full days. Hoping for the best!

Im a bit sad this morning....actually scratch that, very sad. I did my usual check the brooder last night....and Pocket was not in there. No where....not under her toys, she was not in sight. We turned the place upside down to find her, she was no where. Shes gone. Its the worst case scenario because i dont know if shes in the cats belly or by chance still alive somewhere waiting for me, i cant bring myself to the fact that i wont see her ever again, its funny how 3 days together can impact on how much i miss her... Last night i was watching TV, and she was snuggled up next to my hand, if i moved it, she would make a fuss, and if i walked away she would come screaming after me... Its my fault because if i had put a lid on the brooder...none of this would of happened. Not a good morning

Under the refrigerator or behind the washer or dryer. That's where mine always go....
