My sebright is missing. :( ***UPDATE: She's back and safe!***

[SilverPhoenix]

Uh-oh, all the chickens were out free-ranging today in the lovely weather, and when I went to shut everyone in I noticed one of my silver sebrights, Solitaire, is missing. I did a quick sweep of the acre of our property and searched the coop thoroughly, and not a sign of her! The good thing is there are no feathers anywhere, though, so I'm hoping she just went to roost somewhere oddball and will be back pecking around the property in the morning.

Think good thoughts for her! I'm really hoping a predator didn't snatch her or anything. I feel a little paranoid for getting worried already because I think there's a good chance her feathery butt will be back around the coop in the morning, but I can't help but worry a little.

Keep your fingers crossed!

I hope your Solitaire comes home too.

Think positive and keep us posted! Our thoughts are with you....has she done this before?

Thank you, I will!

She hasn't, but several of my other chickens definitely have before. One time I found my roo roosting on the rear-view mirror of my mom's truck!

We haven't had any problems with predators here at all, so hopefully she's just off somewhere weird. I'll let everyone know if she shows up in the morning. I'm hoping!

Check any nearby trees. I had a golden seabright that just wanted to get up high off the ground. Found him in the rafters of the barn. Don't panic. You'll find her.

I did briefly check the trees, but we have a lot of them! And some are fairly bushy, so it's hard to see. I'm pretty sure that's what's up with her, though.

Thanks for your optimism!

Thank you for the good thoughts and optimism, everyone! Sure enough, when I took the dogs out this morning there she was, wanting to go back in the coop! Not a feather out of place.

Glad you got your girl back safe and sound.

Sound the trumpets!

Sneaky little girl.

Doesn't she know you were worried sick.
