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( Pink
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.
