OK, I'll tell you what happened to her.
It's getting dark out. I just couldn't figure out what had happened to her. And, I was fearing the worst, maybe a dog got her, or maybe a hawk. I'm looking for any sign of her, or her remains and thinking I'm really going to have to see about getting some more hens. I finally found her.
RU has an old rabbit cage that we need to finish taking apart. One end is sitting on the ground, and has no legs. The other legs are still attached, but not the way they should be. It makes it so the one side is about a foot off the ground. It was under this cage that I found her. The stinker had been laying her eggs under there, and is now sitting on about 2 dozen eggs! And, she's funny about it. When I feed the horses, she'll come out, run around and get anything the horses drop. Then, she runs around for a couple of minutes-don't know if she thinks she fooling anyone as to where her nest is. Then a few minutes later, you check on her, and she's back on her eggs! I told my husband tonight that we have to get something secure made w/in 2 weeks. I'm hoping I get at least a few eggs hatching from this!
