New member.Hi. One of my 2 month old free range chickens disappeared

[noonweiss]

After a bad thunderstorm this evening. The other 5 all went back to coop. Any ideas what happened to the chicken?
Thanks.

Could have been scared in the storm and got lost in a hiding place? Hope you find em.

could have been taken by predators which is the main problem with free ranging - you have to accept losing a few

Hi and welcome to BYC from northern Michigan

Maybe she became disoriented by the storm and took shelter somewhere - try going for a walk around the area with a can of grain and calling her. Unfortunately, as Diva said, many free-ranging birds are taken by predators. Hope you find her.
