🚨STOLEN FROM BILAMBIL 2 PET CHICKENS
Next to the service station

From original post
Man in high vis with a van with no back window

"These 2 childhood Pets, names HayHay & Delicate were stolen on Tuesday confirmed after community reports and my own bizarre interaction with a MOP who was on my grassy verge handling the 3 chickens, which were gone a few minutes later when I went out to inspect after all the ruckas. I was lucky to have made the bust with one of 3 released after some awkwardness.
I urge the young Australian man of Afr/Amer.decent with a rear windowless white van to make contact and for ppl to continue to keep a community eye out,"

Thanks.

*****

🐔🐔🐔If anyone has info on 2 of my flock (house next to Bilambil Servo) not turning up for bed tonight I’d appreciate it-particularly the guy in HiViz crouched next to my fence that took a chook across the road and was patting it on the footpath if you could reach out to me to chat further with any info pls-I was trying to work out why the dog was going berserk.
Yes they free range, yes something is bound to happen.
HayHay (fish tail see pic) is a very treasured chook of my 4yo daughters and I’m dreading telling her tomorrow.
Thanks
