Findon Primary School is still missing one hen after the school’s coop was raided last Monday.
Three hens disappeared from the Mill Park primary school overnight and police suspected foul play.
In the early hours of Tuesday, a black Falcon pulled up outside McDonalds at Thomastown and threw one ISA brown chicken through the automatic doors about 4.30am. Restaurant patrons shooed the hen outside and called police, who collected the bird as it attempted to cross the road. She was affectionately called ‘Nuggets’.
A group of youths was also seen dumping a hen at a service station in Plenty Road, Bundoora, the same night. Whittlesea council rangers were called.
Both hens were returned to Findon Primary School on Tuesday. But police are appealing for public assistance to help locate the third wayward chicken. Contact Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000.
