Corny, I know.
we have 6 Barred Rocks that are almost a year old (4 gals and 2 roos), a handful of RIR, young pullets and a sweet rag tag 'family' of 4 that were gifted to us this spring. They have such sweet personalities and all different breeds/crosses. The Easter Egger took off for a few days in early June. We found her sitting on a mound of eggs-14 all told. We found her hiding in plain sight. One week ago she took off again. We have searched high and low on 3+ acres of our fields, studded with pine trees. She is nowhere to be found. I did find two eggs, quite a distance from eachother and far away from her normal stomping grounds. Besides a couple feathers near one of the eggs there is no sign of a real struggle. I don't have it in my heart to quit looking for her.
We have been very lucky with our flock security, hoping our luck didn't run out.

Looking forward to learning a lot here!

Welcome to BYC!

Thanks for sharing a picture of your flock. I hope your EE shows up soon and all is well.


It's nice to have you here!
 
Hi Cris, nice to meet you. Hope you enjoy Backyard chickens as much as we do. Truly hope your hen comes back leading a string of chicks. Would you have a dog, who might help with the search. They are so much better than humans at things like that. I recall one BYCER who's dog did lead them to their errant hen. She has tangled in berry vines when she hid from a predator, and had to be cut free.

Hoping for her safe return.
