Well Friday night my wife went out to lock Il the chickens as it was raining out and they usually go back in the coop on their own. She didn’t count heads to make sure they were all there. Got up Saturday and come to find out 7 were locked out and missing. Found 3-4 areas of feathers outside of our fenced in backyard area. Didn’t look like a lot of feathers as they must have got rained on pretty dog afterwards. What pisses me off the most is that of the 7 hens 3 we’re going to start laying around august. Out of the other 4, 2 were 3+ year old golden comets ( still laying but not daily) and 2 were 2year old golden comets. I don’t know if I want to replace them at this point in the year. Yesterday we got a whopping 2 eggs. That is from a combination of 2 and 3+ year old comets and we have a 3 yr old Easter egged and a 2 year old Easter egged and 4 silver Wyandotte that should start next month. Wife learned a lesson for sure as she feels horrible about it. She treated them like pets.
