This hen was originally sharing a nest with one of my other hens, out of nowhere she stopped, perhaps the other bird took over? No, clue anyways.. she went back to her usual foraging during the day but removed herself from the rest of the flock.
Well last night, we couldn't find her.. we searched and searched... it ended up where she was out all night. I finally found her this morning, she is fine but before i could bring her back up to the barn i needed gloves(Muscovy= nails so i go get those come back..) gone again!
I find her on my front porch.. no biggie.. but i admit i picked her up and put her in the pen.. i'm worried about her safety I mean while she is full flight and knows the farm well night time is not safe here...
She is not impressed with being penned up, all the birds daytime forage and are locked up at night but again I don't want her wandering off.
what the heck do I do here? needless to say I am pretty frustrated. Times like this i wish they could talk lol
