Crowing
My flock free-ranges from morning to dusk and are cooped and locked at night. One of my girls decided to disappear. She came back 4 days/3 nights later. While gone, we had an issue with a pair of neighborhood dogs. Birds penned in the run all day nowMissing hen, Fluff, came back as a moody, puffed up outsider squaring off with everyone and wanting to go through the divider fence to the duck run. Fighting with my drakes through the links. Night one back was ok. Day two back was better, night two was fine, third day my Fluff was nearly normal again. The birds get free-range time each evening for an hour or two before roost while I stay outside with them for safety. Day three during free-range time, Fluff left. Just peacefully wandered off. And has now been gone for (this being night three) 3 nights.
Any thoughts? Just a solo bird all of the sudden? Nest somewhere in woods? Sexy male nearby??
