So my rooster is missing, he was free ranging with my girls last night. At around 10 my husband locked up chickens without a head count. Woke up this morning to let them out and he wasn’t around. I live in a rural area west Texas and I do have dogs but only two were out. We were also outside from 7-9 last remember seeing rooster at 8:30ish I’ve walked my area no feathers and my cameras didn’t pick anything up. They do turn on when the dogs walk around.
Hens go broody when you don’t want them to… and won’t go broody when you do.
. Maybe a owl got him?
