Too young for release without adult defenders and even adult silkies will not be effective defenders. Keep the silkies penned up unless under very direct supervision.

Thinking out loud: I'm baffled too aart and also thought maybe she got herself stuck, but there was the bang.Was thinking about this...and wonder if maybe she just got stuck somewhere out in the yard.
Always drives me nuts not having an answer, but sometimes there just isn't one.
Hope you can figure it out and how not to have it happen again. Hang in there.
Here's a link describing the typical chicken predators and their patterns. http://www.extension.org/pages/7120...mall-and-backyard-poultry-flocks#.VhFtxvlVikoWill the hawk be smart enough to return in the future and prey on my other babies?

That seems really likely. BYC needs a scratch your head and a rub your chin emogee.Was thinking something tried to get her and she dashed into a tight spot to hide.
It is sprinkling in California! Yay! Have you figured out anything else OP? Good luck finding your chicken thief. So sorry for your loss.
I don't want to hijack the OP, but she's surely feeling out drought too! Did you read the news about the millions of balls they released in the reservoirs to slow evaporation? We have WMWD. They must only allot a gallon a day before they rake in the penalties! I am SO water wise. My bill is 300+ per month for fees penalties and nonsense. Pray for El Nino!I know! We need a save the lakes campaign here. So many are almost dry while the water goes to water acres of lawns put in for decoration. This is why our lawn takes no grass and has drought resistant plants. Our only grasses are barely watered and take up a tiny percentage of our property. Then they are watering the golf course several times a day and people ask why the lake is so low. Clueless.
