We have had 5 chicks disappear - literally. We think the flew up and out of the run, but we have never seen them in the yard, no scratched areas, the garden is untouched, no feathers, no dust bath areas. We lost 1 one day, 3 another and 1 on another day. We have now covered our run. We have 11 black stars over a year old and have never had any problems with them. If they get out when being fed or watered they stay around home and come back at dusk or we can coax them back with scratch. Where would these chicks go? And why wouldn't they come "home" at dusk? And why is there no sign of them.
