I lost a chicken

[Mortos]

Tonight, when I went to secure my chicken coop, I found that my daughter had closed the door earlier and the chickens could not get back in at dusk when they roost (I have free range chickens that get to stroll about the property during the day eating bugs and having chicken fun). I secure them every night so predators cannot eat them (I love my chickens). Well I found four in the trees, and two on the roof. I am still missing one. I walked around the woods with a flashlight for an hour and I can't find her. I know she is just a chicken but I really like these chickens, they are one of the coolest pets/livestock I have ever owned. They have me questioning my carnivorous lifestyle. I was mad at my daughter for closing the door but angrier at myself for not checking on them earlier. Every put out good thoughts for Dark Black (as my daughter calls her) and hope that she will be okay through the night.

By the way, I read an earlier post in which someone found a chicken, that one is not mine. Mine is black and white and answers to "chick, chick, chick, chick, chicken".
