Cluck Crazy
I had my 7, 7 week old chicks, 6 pullets (and 1 roo I suspect) outside in my fully fenced 1/2 acre yard to free range like I have been for the last week. I was outside gardening and I heard a commotion of only one of the chicks so I went running over and I found 6 out of 7 just scratching away, no sign of my 1 Dominique, Harriet. I put all the chicks in the coop while I searched the yard high and low (we do have 2 large wood piles and 2 piles of small branches that she may have been able to hide in but I looked pretty well a d saw nothing. I opened I coop and now my 5 girls are on the highest roost in their coop not coming out and my roo is hiding under a stack of wood.
I also looked for feathers in the yard as a sign of a predator attack and there was none. I'm so heartbroken right now. Someone please help me. I dont know what to do and I'm devastated.
