We have an unusual chicken that often hops the fence to lay her eggs. I kept warning her about predators, but she often argued. I think she's injured & hiding under a shed. She hasn't come out in over a week. It's too far too narrow under there to be able to extract the chicken manually, but we may need to try something (pulling the floor up from the shed?). I imagine the hen could soon die of dehydration.
We've noticed our female mallard keeps going under the shed (that's how we discovered the hiding hen). Every night the mallard goes under the shed, presumably to care for the hen. Each morning she comes out and joins the rest of the flock.
Is the mallard taking food to the chicken?
