My Partridge Rock hen disappeared last week. I figured something ate
her, but she came running out of woods this morning when I opened the
pin to let the others out of the coup. I was pleasantly surprised.

I had something similar happen with a Barred Rock a while back, but it
was obvious something had attacked her and dragged her off, luckily
she was able to escape.

Has anyone else had a hen go on vacation for a week then return
almost a week later?

Congrats on her safe return.
Its not uncommon when they get a fright. Or maybe just get beyond their
normal ranging and take a little time to get back into their "home" range.
Its more common that they take a 3 week vacation !!!!
returning with added members of the family <grin>
