I love your nesting boxes! Congratulations on getting your first egg...

I Lost One!

I could not find Phyllis tonight. The first night all week that I did not watch them roost. So of course, I check coop cam and there is no sign of Phyllis anywhere. Now she could be right against the door but Hattie would be awful close and she does not like Phyllis that close to her.

So out i go, I open the door to the coop, no sign of Phyllis. My heart drops. Where is she?

She is not in the run, not in the magnolia tree, not under the coop.

I open the coop again.

I can't tell you why.

Maybe I was thinking she was in a nesting box.

I still can't see her. Then I start counting and I notice 2 black trails on the high roost. This is what i saw.

My terror is Phyllis' triumph. Every night Phyllis is the first in the coop and goes to the high roost. Tonight Lilly did not kick her off like she usually does.

Here is Phyllis enjoying the high roost before Lilly comes in to evict her. View attachment 2365567

I nearly reported this post to the authorities. You simply cannot scare us with a headline like that!!
So happy Phyllis was found and in such a nice location. But I now need a rest to calm down.

She tortured me, I share the pain. I cannot tell you how frightened I was.

I'm glad the post conveyed what I was feeling at the time. That was my intent.

We don't have as close a relationship with our chickens, but I still hunt around when I can't find someone
