Thanks! IM hope you and your family are doing well. Speaking of animals i have a story... prior to Dec so mid/late Nov one of my young pullets(aka young chicken under 1yo) went missing.. i assumed... dead. Mind you could find no evidence of this but hey what else was i going to think.
So long short story before Christmas we had awful weather, it was up/down heavily snowed. Then on Christmas day switched to a sleet, rain ...
I am closing up, i had already closed that group of birds(my layer flock) and notice a chicken soaked and kinda poorly under my one duck pen(it's elevated) and i am like.. huh i swear i counted and closed that coop. So i grab said bird, notice how drenched and thin and was like what the heck?
It was my MISSING chicken! no kidding, i swear i couldn't believe it. I still haven't a clue where she went, was or what happened, i saw no injuries, but she was definitely thin and worse for wear.
She is recovering, i still see some off things but nothing to concerning, the flock remembered her and all have settled back down.
So tales from the farm
