I was very sad last night because when I went out to make sure everyone was tucked in for the night, Henrietta wasn't there!!! The flock (18 birds) always stays together and they all come in just before dark and I count them and shut the coop door. I looked everywhere for her!!!! In the shed, in the feed room, EVERYWHERE!!!! When it got too dark to see, sadly I had to give up, thinking something had gotten her. Well, I go out this morning and there she is!!!!! Just hanging out by the coop trying to get to her family!!!!! Needless to say, I was I was so excited!!!!! Welcome back Henrietta (aka Houdini)
So glad she came back safe & sound. She might have a secret nesting spot somewhere. I've had that happen with my BO's before. I looked everywhere for that hen,then the next morning she came running out of the woods.
