Missing 12 week old silkie mix. Help

[tpotts1984]

Today when I locked everyone up for the night my 12 week old silkie mix Sarah was missing. I checked all the fences nothing was disturbed. Everyone else seemed ok not scared or anything. I did not hear any commotion all day. Could she just be lost or spooked and hiding? Thanks everyone.

How long has she been missing?

Hopefully, and perhaps she will reappear in the morning. If she does not show up, is it possible to keep your birds penned up tomorrow just in case there is a predator in the area?

Last time I seen her was around noon. When I locked up at 5pm she was missing.

That was my plan. I have a fully fenced run. It's fenced floor and top. Very safe. Hoping she shows up in the morning.

If she doesn't show up ( I really hope she does ) then you might want to get a trail cam or two and put them on your coop and one other place to see if there is a predator out there

My family told me I can borrow theirs. So far we have been very lucky.

That's great! I have a trail cam and it's very useful

Update. No sign of her this morning during feeding. I'm thinking the worst has happened.
