my little Dixie chick is missing

[pinkwindsong]

hi all,

my 13 week old gold comet Dixie is missing.. two nights ago she had snuck back out of the kennel before I closed the door and realized she wasn't in it and surprised me the next morning with a big stretch...out side...
last night when I went to close the kennel.. everyone was in there except .. Dixie... I looked everywhere couldn't find her.. even went back out at 2 am to look with flashlight again.. still no Dixie. this morning there is a puff of feathers on the ground by the back fenceline.. and No Dixie.... no body just a puff of feathers on the ground..

I fear the worst... has anyone had a chick disappear into a wooded/ pasture area and come back?

blessed be )O(

puff of feathers.. sounds like a hawk or fox might have taken her. Its a longshot.. but have you tried walking around with one peeping in your hand? Sometimes a scared chick in hiding will come out to the call of a flockmate.

I realize it's a very remote chance but did your bird reappear?
