hi all
we were devastated when a week ago my daughters chicken disappeared. for the first few days i hoped posy might have escaped the pen and be broody somewhere but after a a couple more days we thought a fox must have got in.
we were so sad because posy is our tamest sweetest pekin and follows my daughter around.
on saturday i heard load shouts from dd and thought....oh no, she's found the body. but she had found she was ALIVE....
posy was under the decking lost in a maze of supports.
by now the rest of the family was on the decking. another daughter was able to see a path out and i dropped mealworms in a trail. it took around 45 mins to get her out but we are so so happy to have her back....wish i could say the same for her fellow chickens who reminded her of her place at the bottom of the pecking order when she was returned.....
