DS forgot to close the door on my silkie coop last night, so they all jumped out...At what time? i don't know.
When i went out this morning to feed them, they were already out! I only saw 4 out of the 5..... I ran back into the house to have my son get dress and help me find out what happened to lil buff girl.
when we got out back, Ben realized that he didn't close the door, the lock was still on top of the coop and the door wide open. and my lil buff was on the bottom of the fuzz pile..thank goodness...
They were, for the first time GLAD to see me... usually not so much...and they came to me to be put in their coop....
They must have been out there ALL night long, poor babies. I have an umbrella at the end on their run, b/c they're not the smartest bird in the flock and stay out in the rain...and we've been getting lots of rain here....
But they were all under the umbrella, which probably saved their lives from predator from the sky.... hawks everywhere, and those big turkey vulture things. I had one of them flying really low a few weeks back, they're BIG birds....
They're safe and sound now, but boy....it could have been so bad...
