You know you live in a small town when the local PTA message board posts the following:
We lost one of our black silkie chickens near Santa Clara and Court. If you see a small black chicken roaming around please call us.
We miss her. She is a pet, not dinner.
I have found a small black chicken in my yard and have been giving her fresh water and food. She has been here 2 days and I do not know how she got here.
The folks who lost their chicken found it a few days later. I'll put the word out to see if they lost it again or if anyone else is missing one. Thanks!
Nope, no lost chickens reported.
