i had one that used to hide under the house. everytime i would decide she was dead for sure, i would happen to see her in the yard for a few minutes before she was gone again. one time i literally didnt' see her for two weeks as she always seemed to time her self when i wasn't out there. so hopefully it will just be something odd like that. good luck

be sure to call any local shelters or animal control..chickens do get picked up and brought in. Good luck to you I hope you find her!!!

Thanks all for all the hope and encouragement. We looked this morning before school/work but nothing.

We don't have a rooster, so it would be immaculate conception if she came home with a bunch of chicks, but I'm all for miracles! I am worried that if she is broody that she might sit and sit and nothing would happened, but then again I'm also worried that a coyote or a dog got her. but we didn't see feathers or anything. They were only alone for about an hour. . .

thanks Sheps4her for the tip of the animal control. I'll call them now and will take the afternoon off to hunt more for her. Would a smart chicken decide to go broody outside the coop when the weather is predicted to drop to 5 degrees in 2 days???!!! No.

I'll keep everyone posted and start crawling way under the deck to look into barrels tipped on their side. . .
