Hi,it’s literally raining outside and there is a violent storm going on.There’s still no sign of Lilly I have no idea if she’s even okay.I’m probably sure she’s hiding under the back trees but she’s afraid of humans and dosent come out.I still haven’t heard any good news and They brought Era back in the coop,who is frantically crowing for Lil.I told them to open up the coop door for a few miniutes and go away so that maybe Lilly would come back to the coop?if no one was there and it was raining and she saw Era crowing?Well of course she didn’t,the caretaker spotted her in the end of the grassy garden but when they ran to catch her she disappeared.Now there’s been no sign of her since morning and it’s literally afternoon.The rain is really heavy and I’m really scared.There’s nothing to do but go and hunt for her tomorrow.I’m really panicking that she won’t thrive through this heavy rain.My fingers are crossed.

That sounds like good news if the caretaker spotted her - maybe leave her favorite food just outside the coop to tempt her to come home.

Just what I was thinking too.

Yes, a cat wouldn't be interested in chickens food

My girls are back in their original coops which I have cleaned out thankfully before the rain came down again. The little ones like the scruffy coop. So they are happy

Tina's poo is looking better, she really goes for the fermented feed which they all had this morning and have just had layers wet, with yogurt charcoal and sunflower seeds. At least they had some time out

Much better behaviour from them today.

Good morning everyone. Afi I hope you manage to catch you hen. If she's been spotted best thing to do is put out food and maybe leave the coop open and she'll come to your boy. It's a new place and she's scared so I would personally take a hands off approach at first. Trying to catch her may make her go further away. BY BOB I pray you have safe travels today and get your son-in-law safely home without too much discomfort. I hope everyone else is doing well with their chickens. I need a day to unwind myself after yesterday, Louis my old man had a mild form of Gas Colic. Thankfully we were outside yesterday afternoon when he displayed the first symptoms so quick action was able to be taken. Colic is deadly with horses though so spent the night up with him and I'm exhausted. I want to nap, but, Louis will still need observation and I really need to catch the 3 daughters of Momma Hens as I got a message Monday evening from Maddy's grandpa. He decided he wants them and I was supposed to try and catch them yesterday. Thankfully he understood I was dealing with a horse emergency and I'm really in no big hurry to catch them. But, I promised them to him and I'll feel better once they are penned up and he can come get them.

I've heard people have used peppermint for colic in horses.

I hope this eases off really soon

I’ve told them to leave the pellets outside and near the coop and even apples.since that’s what lil likes.Nah she’s far too clever.
