RIP Dorothy Gale (Pics included)

[Shrader]

My poor little Dorothy Gale.
Something took her the other night.
I'm not even sure what.
I went down to the coop and there was just a tuft of feathers.
There's no way she could have gotten out herself.
And I looked everywhere for her. Not a sign.
I have 12 chickens, and I love each one, but DG was the only one I raised from an egg, so she was special.
She was just 4 months old. Didn't even get to lay one blue egg.
Oddly enough, we had visitors on the day she disappeared, so I have a picture with her on her last day.
Here's a pic of her pipping, freshly hatched, a few weeks old, and with me on her last day. Sad.

So sorry. That's very sad.

I'm so sorry! I'd be so upset, too. She was a pretty girl, but maybe she'll be back. If there's no body, there's always hope. They are so special, these sweet hens.

I am so sorry if she is truly gone , but keep the Faith that you will find her.

:aww sorry for your loss. I will hope and pray for a miracle return. Very sweet looking bird.

I'm very sorry...
Just in case by some miracle she eluded her captor, I would search and search close in and further afield. I am hoping that it will turn out she is alive and that you find her (she may be injured and unable to get to you...)
