And it is crazy to me that your three silkies just... Came back? With a fox den nearby, how would they survive four days out in the woods, without getting eaten or starving? I think someone dropped off those three birds at your driveway or somewhere you wouldn't notice, because they felt bad about killing your rooster and stealing your hens.
Also, any sane bird would come back to the coop at night, so that's what really makes me think someone was keeping them elsewhere.
