I found the chick.... It didn't make it.
Instead of trying to coax it out I should have gone in and found it last night.
It got inside of the grass catcher for my lawn mower and couldn't get out..... Don't know why.... But I failed it.... I'm ready to just get rid of my birds..... Every time something like this happens I just feel like I'm not doing my job taking care of these birds.....I went 2 years without a loss.... Now I've lost three birds this year.
And these still another chick missing....I let these chicks stay with Mom.... They seem so happy like that but like I said one just disappeared..... I'm pretty mad at myself right now.....

You just gave a new routine a go and it didn't work like you'd hoped. From what I've read you do great by your birds and take awsome care of them. Don't beat yourself up, chit happens, you know that, we clean up the pile and try again! You've come to far in this life of yours to be mad at yourself for this. Chin up! It'll work out! :hugs

We've all flocked up, Phil. Shoulda, coulda, woulda, but didn't. Ya can't be with 'em 24/7 fella and I know ya do a great job with 'em. Notch it up as experience, and try not to let in happen again - it's the best any of us can do.
