Wow, you wouldn't believe it. Three weeks ago I had one of my year old girls just disappear during the middle of the day when they were free-ranging. No trace of her. No feathers no nothing. I called for her for about two days and finally gave up. I figured maybe a hawk snatched her up. I excepted the fact that she was gone. This Saturday I let the girls out to free-range, left on a quick errand and came back and low and behold there she was picking though the grass with the rest of them! I had to count and recount like 10 times! I couldn't believe it! She seemed a little smaller, but healthy looking! Isn't that crazy? We live on 4 acres and surrounded by a couple hundred ares of nothing but trees and rocks and predators! It is amazing she survived three weeks with no coup or anything. I wonder what happened to her! Crazy girl! At least she's home now!

Since she was thinner it makes me think she was sitting on a nest but either her eggs were not fertile or maybe a preditor got them. Whatever. How wonderful she came home!!

I know, that's what I was thinking-that she sat on some eggs somewhere. I don't have a roo so that was just a waste of three weeks! I feel so bad that she sat there for so long and finally just gave up and abandoned her eggs. I just don't really want a rooster you know? maybe next spring I will get some fertile eggs for them to hatch.

I bet you they will fight over them. I always see them sitting on top of each other in the nest that has eggs in it!
 
Sorry, you're talking to the wrong person. I have 7 roos at the moment.

I consider them my girls watch dog when their free ranging. Of course, each roo has his own girls and his own pen which gets kinda complicated.
