Yesterday I finally realized (must have been two days) I'm missing a chicken from the flock! I've been leaving the coop doors open because of the heat and it makes me very nervous to do so. I finally went out and counted everyone tonight and yes, one of my wyandotte's is missing. I immediately freaked and looked in the chicken food shed. Once I locked a chicken in there all night and half the next day before I opened it to feed the birds. She was fine. It's been 100 to 106 daily and I thought if I shut her in the shed she would be dead in hours. Well, I checked and she isn't there. I knew she wouldn't be there as I was in there early today. Tonight I counted everyone and she is the only one missing. How horrible of me to have not noticed until today. I'm a bad chicken Mom. I have (now) 40 grown chickens and 9 eight week old chickens. I feel really bad for her. We have fox, coyote, racoons, and the worst, bears. I haven't heard or seen anything and my dog has not alerted to anything either. I have a 7 foot fence around the two coops and was hoping they would be safe. I could kick myself. Just wanted to share with y'all, don't be like me. Maybe best to count every night!!!
