Escaped chicks! Help!

Oh ok! Lol im really hoping you can find them

Me too! Right now my best hope, I think, is waiting until night and seeing if they go towards the other chickens.

Long shot but I'd take a phone and try playing some chickens sounds, if your own are not already making plenty. Maybe even a rooster crow if you don't keep one, and some tidbitting noises from a rooster or mother hen. Even some happy chick sounds if they are still peeping age. Chickens are so social at every age and if they think they can find safety with a group, they should eventually gravitate towards it... As long as they aren't too far away, and I bet they are I hiding.

Sending you best wishes that you find them asap!

Yea, I trust if my hens ever get out they will come back. They know the time for there food and bed, so they rush to get in even if there dust bathing.

I think my main concern is that literally I JUST brought them home. They don’t know where to go, or any of the other birds. I’m hoping they just need to calm down. The lady I bought them from mentioned that literally last night there was a predator attack. I’m assuming they’re super wound up from that.

Thanks!! I have a lot of other birds (including multiple roosters and at least one chick around their age), so obviously them hearing the other birds would be ideal.

They’re definitely hiding, just surprised at how effective their hiding is!

One time we lost a chick in our garage (that is also storage) I was about to start moving all of the pallets to find her and she eventually just came out hoping you find them soon!!!

I did!! Well, actually my neighbor did! They’re both back, thank goodness!!

Forgive the crappy pic, I don’t trust them enough to open the cage again

Were they visiting your neighbor? In any case, glad they're back!

One was apparently hiding in the bushes on their property, the other was seen around the brooder (but ran away when they tried to grab her). Either way, my neighbors are amazing!
