So I went to feed and all there was in Tree Chick's nest box was a ton of feathers. One of the feed cans was knocked over. The 3 month RIR's were still in their box, and Cotton, the silkie was outside making a fuss. On no, I did not shut the barn door last night, one of the babies was staying out late and I thought, oh, I will come back out in a few minutes. So this morning I was sick, I hadn't remembered to close the door last night. I came back in the house and gave my DH the news. Something ate Tree Chick. I went back out there to see if hopefully she had found a place to squeeze into and hide. There were no feathers outside of the barn anywhere. When I went back into the barn, THERE WAS TREE CHICK! She was getting a drink. I gave her some food, which she gobbled up and then went back to her nest! She's missing tail feathers and such, but she is OK!!
She only has a rock in her nest because I have no rooster so the eggs will never hatch, so she just sits on the rock.
