We shall call you Lucky!!

[Kfults]

First time I don’t go count babies in the nest at night.... This morning I only counted 3 babies on coop cam.... one was missing! I go out fearing to find a dead chick somewhere- if a predator hadn’t carried it off..... instead I found Lucky outside the chicken run and fenced yard! They can get out of the chicken yard through the chicken wire but usually go back in when mom calls. ( The run is 1/2 inch hardware cloth which is secure at night but daytime roam yard is chickenwire with double electric wire) He must have gotten too far away and couldn’t find his point of escape. It was out in the elements all night! 11 days old!!! I don’t know where he hunkered down for the night but he managed to stay warm and dry and survive ‍ He was warm when I found and picked him up!! It seems no worse for the ware- These hen raised chicks are tough! I will be counting chicks at dark from now on! I don’t care how overprotective and crazy it seems!!!
