I'm so sorry, how awful!One of my July HAL chicks has gone missing. Olive, our only Olive egger, went missing sometimes between Saturday afternoon and Sunday morning. We’ve had a lot of fox activity in the area recently. Chances of finding her are almost nil. My 3 year old opened the coop when we were watching fireworks (local holiday). Then I relied on my older kids and husband to herd the chicks back in. It’s very possible she was missed and left out all night.
Usually losing a favorite bird sends me into a frenzy of ordering or hatching. This time I’m holding strong. No more birds until the new coop, still in planning stages, is 100% finished. I’ll just have to hope I can hatch another next year that’ll be as cool as she was.
