Twisty Chicken Is Missing
I am not sure how long you have been reading my blog but I wrote a blog post a while back about one of my Spring born chicks had a twisted beak. I called her twisty and did not want to kill her because she was healthy and was eating fine.
She became the friendliest chicken right down to sitting on my shoulder. I was often annoyed by her antics that including jumping on my back anytime I bent over. One thing was sure, when I went and opened the hen house up for the day, she was the first one to meet me at the door.
That was before this morning! I went out to let the chickens outside and no Twisty. She is missing! I can find trace of her anywhere. I called the neighbor, who also has chickens, to see if Twisty went over there. I searched all over my property and there is no sign at all of her. Normally if a wild animal gets one, you will see signs. This is part of raising chickens and I am use to losing chickens but Twisty was a special chicken. At times, I wanted to ring her necck; however, I hate the fact that I have no idea what happened to her. I guess Twisty is gone for good and the Chicken Coop will never be the same!
This makes me sad
I do hope that Twisty comes back, Sounds like she was a nice, friendly bird
Aww…I hope Twisty shows up soon.
Thanks Colleen! I know it was just a chicken but it I was kind of attached to that little hen. Kind of a survival story.
@ Justin and April, I do not think I will see her again! Chickens do not roam far from home and they always return to the coop at night.
Thanks for the comments!
