We had a dog get after our chickens today. One chicken was injured and two were missing. The two that had disappeared were the best of friends and had always been together. We found one after about an hour of searching, perfectly fine and hiding. Since then about another hour or two has gone by with still no signs of the missing chicken.
There are no feathers--no blood. We think she's probably hiding in the yard somewhere. I know that chickens go into a trance-like state when they hide and can stay like that for a while, and I'm not sure whether or not to give up hope.
Does anyone know how long a chicken will stay hidden?
