I thought she was gone!

So, barefooted me went out to get the mail and realized the chickens got out. I rounded up 4 of the 5, but my buff orpington, Joy, is still missing. Me and my boyfriend look everwhere, calling her name (she knows it). After me (still barefooted) and my boyfriend search our property for 25 minutes, I'm ready to see if the neighbors saw a fluffy golden chicken. Then, my boyfriend is staring in the coop window and laughing. I go over to see whats up. Joy is sitting in a nesting box, casually laying an egg! I crack up, said "BYC will love this" go into the house, and head straight for my laptop!

I love it! She was probably sitting on the nest thinking...." why the heck is she yelling my name, doesn't she know I'm busy in here?"

Joy is such a trickster!

Glad she was okay. I know the panic of a missing chicken (luckily none have stayed missing. It was just a matter of looking on a different branch in the tree).

She was thinking "just when I get some peace and quiet, she starts yelling my name!"

Glad you found her though! It's such a scary feeling to have them gone missing!
