I’m so sorry about Sunset. I really hope she comes back for you. What breed is she? Depending on what breed she is will depend on whether she has a nest somewhere. I hope this is helpful

She's a Rhode Island Red. She has been acting strange lately. She got herself a little perch that's pretty hard to get to, and one of the others did go up there sometimes too. Come to think of it, the was chrrrrring like a broody. Maybe she ran off to find a nesting spot? There are no roosters, so hatching obviously won't happen. I've only been getting one or two eggs a day, so maybe she's "saving up"?

It is possible. I really hope Sunset comes back soon and hopefully with a few chicks for you
 
Haha! Found her! We looked in the garage several times but didn't hear or see a thing. When one of my other girls came inside and followed me to the garage when I was filling up the feeder, Sunset heard her clucking and popped out of wherever she was hiding. At least she had access to food, lol. Glad I found her. She must have been nesting on the mower deck, there's lots of grass under there.

No, chicks wouldn't happen, unfortunately. No rooster.
 
just cause theres no rooster doesn't guarantee a hen will not go broody, if you want to let her hatch out, find some local fertilized eggs, if your near eastern Idaho I got some you could have. Otherwise I would break her of broody.

Yeah, I've already had a broody once. I let her sit and she eventually gave up. That's really nice of you to offer but I'm on the other side of the continent, unfortunately. Thanks.
