What's the longest you've had a chicken disappear?

We've had hens go missing for 5-6 days at a time but they were setting....and just the other day we found our turken pullet living under the house and she had been missing for 4 days

 

I have a neighbor who says his silkie left for a good 3 weeks, then returned home, followed by a brood of chicks.

 

2 weeks. Had two Crested Polish get lost in the forest for two whole weeks over a year ago, then a neighbor far down the road called up and told us they saw some funky looking chickens in their backyard.

Well, it ended up as my very own Polish girls, and to this day they're still alive and healthy.

 

26 or so day's.We used to have Jersey Giant's.We let them free range days.We had given One up to fox or Coyote.Then just out of the Blue she showed up in driveway with about 9 peeping fluffy chick's.I dunno where she was hiding all that time with the egg's.But It was So Awesome to see her with those babie's.We have a lot of Building's and stuff so she was probably under one of them which kept her safe. Like one of my OEGB hen's this time.She did really good with her egg's under corncrib in basicaly a dirt bowl under some old wire.Hen's have a natural instinct to keep nest quite.

 

Quote:That happens more often than not if there is an area where they can go hide. When I was a kid I found a missing hen with a brood of chicks up behind a bunch of bales in my uncles's hay mow. The poor chicks couldn't get out and had to be rescued.

 

I was going to do a new post about my missing Speckled Sussex hen, but thought this would be a good place to add my question. I suspect she's gone broody somewhere because after the first night she didn't come in I found her wandering about the yard in the morning. Then for the last 4 nights, no hen and also no sight of her in the day. No sins of attack or abduction either.
so...my question is: she's only 6 months old. Is that old enough to go broody somewhere?
