I DO NOT BELIEVE THIS. PLYMOUTH ROCK GONE WITHOUT A TRACE? What ate her?

That's a dog that should have courage I'd think. Nothing dug in? Could there be loose wire still hanging in place so it looks ok?

If the area she was in is secured then she is hidden somewhere in plain site. Just last month I unrolled a roll of plastic netting and a dead Rode Island red rolled out. The worst part about it was that I didn't even miss her. Keep looking for your hen.

Okay, I will. That's what I thought, but what worries the same thing happened to Audrey my Golden Buff 1 YEAR AGO and I still haven't "found" her. That's what really worries me.

There are 2 holes under the fencing. I have no idea why. Sugar usually protects them.

Coyote? Maybe a few drew the dog's attention while another one did the digging?

Maybe.

Dog has to sleep sometime, I suppose. Sorry about your bird!

I hope you get those holes under the fence fixed immediately. When a coyote or fox finds a food source they won't quit until every chicken is gone. THEY WILL BE BACK!

Hey everyone who replied.

We locked the girls in their coop last night and everyone is fine. We heard and saw a coyote about to walk into the chicken coop, but the locked door blocked it from getting in. That's the good news. The bad news is, the coyote definitely took and ate Tiny, she was not even there to roost last night. It is killing me almost. She was the sweetest thing on earth.

Holes or not, the chickens are safe. They got locked in last night.
