Just came home after a 2 day trip, a large storm came through while we were gone. Long story short, 3 of my 4 chickens are missing. What are the chances of them coming home? Should I replace the missing Flock for my 1 remaining girl, she is very upset!
 
If they just got out through a opening in their coop/run then the chances are good they are around someplace. With the remaining hen upset there is a strong possibility that a predator has visited. Look for signs, a breach in the security, too many feathers is one place, tracks if you have bare ground. Of course the storm could have obliterated any signs. Hope for the best. Its too soon to get replacements wait till you think you know what happened, and are sure the missing aren't returning.
 
My daughter just lost 3 of her 4 year old hens.. We think fisher cat.. The remaining hen is traumatized and crys constantly .. Poor thing
Our question should she leave the one hen where she is while raising new flock or foster her out so she's not alone? So sad :(
