I have had a very odd experience with one of my chickens. We found a stray Buff Orpington mucking around on the side of the road. We adopted her instantly. One day, however, something...well...strange happened. She loved to wander, and I left the gate open while the chickens were foraging. While walking out in to the backyard, I saw there was no Skeeter! (That was her name.) My parents and their friends scoured the block for a trace of her, but no luck was to be had. I started sobbing, fearing that she was killed or in danger. It was midnight when we stopped. My mom took me back, and in the backyard, prayed with me that she might come back. Suddenly, I heard her coo. She was in the yard! But we couldn't see her anywhere! We looked left, right, and down...and then, somehow perched on the 10 ft fence, with NO way to get up there, was none other than Skeeter herself! I still don't know how she got there! When we walked back to the house, there was a barely audible THOOM! In the sky, there was a glowing object speeding through the atmosphere. UFO? Meteor? I'll never know. It disappeared as soon as it came.
Well, that's just my tale. We gave her to a friend.
