xChicken04x Posted August 16, 2007 Share Posted August 16, 2007 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. xx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

craftyhunnypie Posted August 16, 2007 Share Posted August 16, 2007 Oh I do hope she turns up in the morning if not before! Poor Flo, I do pray that she is safe somewhere hiding! Emma.x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richard Posted August 16, 2007 Share Posted August 16, 2007 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.

redfrock Posted August 16, 2007 Share Posted August 16, 2007 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chicken Licken Posted August 16, 2007 Share Posted August 16, 2007 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
