missing Bantys

[malley]

I have two Bantys missing. Just gone. Every morning the rooster would be at the backdoor wanting some food, the hen with him. This morning .....they weren't there. I cant find them anywhere, no feathers.. . They are around 10 months old. There is no sign of struggle.....help....what could have happened. They never go far from the house or barn. ...and we have a dog that sits with them. I'm so upset.
the only new thing is we had a crane at the pond for two mornings. The first time it has been at our house. And the last. I have not seen it since the chickens are gone. What could get both at one time and not make a mess.....confused

Do you think a fox could have gotten them? So sorry for your losses!

I don't know...I haven't seen a fox...it seems from other forums that may be what happened. Im so sad. I have 3 grandchildren so I have a small petting zoo. Now I'm so worried about my other animals. I have a mallard, goose, peacock and duck....The thing is I have a fallabella horse and two large horses and a miniature pygmy goat. in the same area........I just hate this...I really miss the birds and all their noise!
