Went out to check the mail, and decided to do a head count while I was outside. This is their second day out in the run, which, I'll admit, is less than secure.
It's only temporary until they get the idea of this being "home," then I'll free range them. They've all been in the coop for 10 days now. So I have six 3yr olds, and six 3month olds. I counted, and only came up with 5 little ones. I counted again... and again, and again. I searched the coop from top to bottom, looked around outside, and within a few hundred feet of the run. No chicken. No feathers or blood either. And she's with a 3 yr old rooster... but I heard nothing, no alarm call, no squabble.
