And then you put in a lovely picture of your hen!

I think we've had a coup in the coop.

I went to feed scraps and see if Sheba came through (nope) and was missing a hen! Not just any hen...Meanie!

Tres and the other girls were happily in the run. It took me a bit to find Meanie, who'd squashed herself in this tiny space under the feeders! I touched her and she lost her mind...of course, she's not docile and never let's you touch. She ran outside, but before I could even get to the window, she was back in! I tried to tempt her with mealworms, and she picked at them with Sheba. But, as soon as Tres came in she was back under the feeders.

She looks rough, but not injured. Poor girl. She's always lived up to her name. It's sad to see her so scared.

Not sure what, if anything, I should do!

Comfort her with a hug

Now there’s a rooster that needs a hug !

Currently, he won't thank you for it. The pins are sensitive.

Comfort her with a hug

She does NOT hug. She doesn't snuggle, eat from your hand, or come within arms length if she can possibly avoid it.

@RoyalChick, I think he wants to talk to your girls....

I've been looking but i can't find my tiara. Has that chicken cat run off with itView attachment 3704402

You don’t need a tiara princess you’re beautiful how you are

He actually has NEVER seemed miserable. Wondering if he got far enough through the moult to push it finished.

But his beautiful tail feathers hope they grow in fast - faster than Mr P’s….

 

[Ponypoor]

I have seen it and experienced it multiple times now and yet it never ceases to amaze me just how fast chickens grow up! Wow they are beautiful babies

Earlier I was looking for them on the barn cam and couldn’t see the little girl, I was panning the camera around and could see her, mama and brother were there but no Betty

Oh! There she is! She popped her head up through the hole in the pumpkin what a piglet!
