Race stripe the chicken.

[BantammChick]

I got Race stripe at a place that had an ''assorted bantams'' box.She had this stripe when she was little,so she is race stripe.Now she has lost her stripe,and I think she is a Silver duckwing bantam hen.Last night when I went to go lock up my chickens,Race stripe was not with them.I thought a predator had got her,but this morning,she is back.Tonight when I went to go lock them up,Race stripe is gone.She has been going up for like 2 months now,on her OWN,but for the last two days she has not been there when I lock the chickens up,tomorrow I will put the chickens up early,and watch Race stripe go to roost.

I bet she has gone broody and has a hidden nest. That's my guess

X2.

Never heard the chipmunk stripes called race stripes before.

so she is missing? i agree with venymae, if you let your chickens out in a large area.

Maybe she has,but she is out all day,I think.

A "race" stripe is the usual color pattern for most chicks other than white chicks & black chicks. It can also be called "Partridge" color.

Oh,I forgot to update.....Race stripe is now better.She now goes up on her own like a normal chicken.
