Chicken gone in an instant POOF

[tiki244]

What could have happened? I cant find her anywhere, I looked in all the bushes! I have been over the yard 4 times. No feathers, no noises, and she isnt laying right now. I am very concerned because I do have neighbors and I dont want any of them finding her. I was only inside for 5 minutes and came back out . All the chickens were there except for her. Oh my.

Do you have hawks around? It only takes a moment for them to swoop down and carry them off.

im sorry. thats awful!
but,, i lost a rir three month old roo one time almost the whole day. i looked and looked and finally came to the conclusion he was gone for good.. hawk.. something.. well, low and behold, at the time for me to close the coop,, he was in there!

i hope u find ur little one

I am so happy! I went out again and did another search and found she had broken into the old coop that I used to keep them in.

She is with all the little ones right now.

Thanks Katy and Augie dranch WHWEW I was just sick too. Oh I am so happy now. I think I spent about 2 hours looking for her too. She sure can hide when she wants to.

O thank you everybody. Yes she is always going broody on me, that was the other thought I had was if there was a pile of eggs someplace I didnt know about.
