[alaedw]

Well I heard Mabel clucking quite loudly for some reason, so went into garden and could not see Flo so checked in eglu all that was their was an egg with a feather on... well i called come on chooks and whevere Flo hides she always come running to that!

Well at that point I thought she has flippin got through next doors fence again, so attempted to look call for her but still no sign... by this time now serioulsy worried... so called OH he has come home and shot over next doors fence and no sign wats so ever.... even looked round the back on public pathway.... no sign....

Im so upset..... Mabel is now in her run, but clucking like mad!! .... she does not seem to want to go into eglu....

I just dont know what to do.

Aww, poor you.

have you tried using her favourite treat to make her come back? if i go out with food for mine they all run over...

I really hope you find her- good luck

[alaedw]

yep tried her fave sweetcorn.... still no sign..

[Sarah 2]

Have you looked in the trees?

[The Dogmother]

I hope she turns up soon Sue, can you hear her? She may have flown over a fence and not have enough sense to fly back....

[alaedw]

didnt think of that will look now

[alaedw]

nope cant hear a thing and cant see anything in trees....Poor Flo hope she is ok....

How long can I leave Mabel on her own? as she is really pacing the run...

[The Dogmother]

Are there any feathers around Sue? I hate to suggest this, but perhaps something nabbed her.....

[alaedw]

Just the one feather that was on the egg in the eglu when i went to check wat was wrong ...

[Egluntyne]

Maybe she will find her way home when it begins to get dark.

[chickenlass]

Sorry to hear this, is Mabel looking in any particular direction? maybe she saw her leave? I would let Mabel out (under supervision) and see were she heads off too, i would think she would follow Flo's direction.

Hi all,

Well have just been for another look around the garden still no sign at all, Im so sad.... it has really upset me... Alan made a egg custard tonight with the eggs from flo... and i burst into tears.... its awful!!

But maybe she has just decided to go for a wander!! i shall pout her a MIA for now...but by sat if no return we shall have to get company for Mabel ... as its not far to leave her on her own ...

Thank you for all your kind words...

Luv

Sue

Oh, Sue, so sorry to hear about Flo .

I do hope that she turns up safe and sound very soon.

[The Dogmother]

Oh Sue, that is so sad. I hope that you find her nesting under a hedge somewhere.

[TheGirlsMum]

Sorry

[craftyhunnypie]

Oh I do hope she turns up in the morning if not before! Poor Flo, I do pray that she is safe somewhere hiding!

Oh Sue thats really terrible for you. I don't have anything to say that hasn't already been suggested - just comiserations and I do hope she is back in the morning.

 

You asked about Mabel being by herself - sad to say but she will no doubt be fine. Our Georgie lost her friend Doris some time ago and didn't really seem to notice. she did sometimes seem a little lonely but I don't think its anything to do with not having Doris in particular , just that chickens are flock animals and aren't really meant to be on their own.

 

Of course, as soon as we got her some company she just attacked them and I have kept her separate from them ever since!

 

I do hope you have good news in the morning.

[Paola]

Really sorry to hear Try and keep your chin up

[redfrock]

oh how awful - I'll be checking first thing in the morning to see if she has turned up. We thought we had lost Milly the other day - I felt sick to the pit of my stomach - she didn't even come to the rattle of the corn - and she is normally the first there. Thankfully she turned up an hour or so later - nothing like you are going through - I still have no idea where she was

 

Keeping everything crossed for you x

[Chicken Licken]

Have you been out with a torch and called 'chook - chook - chook' for her? Mine always come running when I call - I do hope she turns uo for the night. big hugs for you
