Tricked by a chicken
Our take
In a comical twist of fate, I found myself on a wild goose chase—well, more like a wild chicken chase—when one of my 11 feathered friends went missing. I scoured every nook and cranny: the coop, the garage, the porch—no sign of her! The other hens were their usual selves, and my rooster remained utterly unfazed. Armed with treats and determination, I ventured across the street, combed through bushes, and scoured my yard multiple times. Just when I thought I’d never see her again, I stumbled upon a hidden nest, artfully camouflaged among the leaves. There she was—Pumpkin, my little bantam, fiercely protective of her impressive clutch of eggs. And then, to top it off, she screamed at me and bit my finger!
 | I was looking for her everywhere, I only have 11 chickens so I know when one is missing m. She wasn’t in the coop, not in the garage. Not on the porch. No signs of a struggle- all the other hens were acting normal, and my rooster was unfazed. I used treats, I kept searching. I checked the field across the street, I walked all up and down my road. I checked the bushes and natural hides in my yard MULITPLE times. Finally I found her. Hidden in the leaves, in my yard. On a hidden nest of eggs that she must have been hiding for some time, as it was an impressive amount for a little bantam. And then she screamed at me!!! And bit me Shame her, her name is Pumpkin.
