HELP! Hen is missing!

[Bantamsonly]

Howdy all, I'm pretty new to this forum, so don't flame me. I have 7 bantam hens, 5 bb red chicks and 2 Belgum Bearded d'Anvere. Last night, I went out to check on them, and one of the D'Anveres was gone! Her name is Almond, and her sister, Peanut, was staying in chicken jail to stop a broody cycle. We looked around a bit last night, and I just spent a half an hour looking, to no avail. I don't see any remains, however. Could a predator have gotten her? She was with our 3 roosters all day, but I hadn't seen her since the morning.
However, she also hasn't been laying eggs in the coop for weeks now. If she was sitting on a nest somewhere, is there any way I can find her? The flock doesn't travel far, maybe a half an acre at most. Please respond ASAP, I want to find her!

Yes, a predator may well have gotten her - or, yes, she could be setting up house on a nest. Have you taught your birds to come to a call? This may work, but if she has gone broody she may resist the urge to respond even to that. IF she has gone broody on you with a rogue nest, finding her will be difficult as their entire goal is to remain unnoticed while they hatch out their eggs - and she may have found a seemingly impossible (to you) location to set about her brooding. If she is broody outside the confines of a secure coop and run, the chances of her becoming lunch for a predator are extremely high.

The only call I have for them is for cracked corn, and they don't listen too well. So if she has gone broody over some eggs, it'll be pretty hard to find her? I've had her do this before, but she hasn't been too clever in hiding them, usually in the woodshed or such.

I found her! She just showed up this morning with all the roosters, perfectly fine! Ha ha, thanks for helping me, now I just have to find her nest!
