riane Posted December 1, 2007 Share Posted December 1, 2007 What should i do?.... went to put chooks away and one is missing! been round garden, bushes and neighbours gardens, no sign of anything, no feathers nothing. Mavis seems fine and not upset?? Should i leave the run open incase she has gone walkabouts or is that putting Mavis in danger? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cinnamon Posted December 1, 2007 Share Posted December 1, 2007 Hi, No,I wouldn't leave the run open. Mavis will be roosting somewhere by now. This happens from time to time & I must say that 9 times out of 10 the errant hen is found safe & well the next day She will be up a tree or something,I am sure. Fingers crossed for a happy outcome Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Karen & co. Posted December 1, 2007 Share Posted December 1, 2007 One of mine does this too She has me wandering round the garden in the cold and wet, and pootles up the lawn in the morning, as if to say, where have you been? Hopefully she will be fine and dandy tomorrow karen x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Janty Posted December 1, 2007 Share Posted December 1, 2007 One of mine used to break out quite regularly. Do you have a local shop that you can post a picture in tomorrow? She may just wander back in the morning when she's hungry.....we found sporty spice roosting in my son's shed one morning after a night out on the tiles! She just wandered back as if nothing had happened. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
riane Posted December 1, 2007 Author Share Posted December 1, 2007 just been out for another search coz its raining quite hard. And there she was clucking in the bushes. I scurried her into the run and she did look a little ashamed of herself. I look like a soggy scarecrow!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
