No joke. I mentioned before that both the marans are missing. Well, I was working from home yesterday, and happened to look out the window, and there was one of the marans guzzling water. She was acting very broody, puffed up, clucking away to herself, and pecking at the other chickens when they crowded her. She went over and started eating, and next time I looked up, she was gone again. So, my guess is that she's got a nest out under the brush pile (where we have no way of reaching her). I hope the other maran is out there with her. We are reasonably certain that the Wyandotte is gone, as I found a pile of breast feathers about 50' from the chicken yard, out in the woods. :(
Maybe the maran ladies will turn up with a mess of chicks someday soon (like we need more chickens).

Sorry to hear about the Wyandotte, but glad you saw one of your Marans. Hope she will be okay.
Have a wonderful weekend!
Glad you solved one chicken mystery; hope she does ok and that the other is somewhere nearby also :)
