HELP! Chick lost in basement! Update: We found her!

[AnnaLease]

As far as I know, there is no way she could have gotten out of the basement. We do have a cat in the house, but he is fixed, and inside cat, completely "non-violent", and gets along fine with rest of our animals, so I am 99.99% sure he would never attack a chicken, and besides, if he HAD, wouldn't there be feathers and blood and leftovers of the chicken somewhere around the house (which there's not)?

She was between the kiddie pool and the one of the pieces of cardboard that we are using to keep them in. Woohoo! The one place we didn't look!

Glad your little one turned up! Incidentally, two tricks that may work when trying to find a lost chick (at least in the daytime; they're completely uncooperative when it's dark!). One is to walk around imitating chick peeps, or carrying a peeping chick in your hands--sometimes they'll hear, and either answer or come out. The other is to imitate a mother hen calling her babies to a treat: quite literally, the call is, "Chick, chick, chick!"

But when it's dark out, they clam up and sit tight until sunrise. We had a three-week-old chick get separated from his mother last night, and although I scoured the barn and yard, he never said a word. This morning he came out. So I know how frustrating it can be, to have a lost chick that isn't helping you find it!
