Asking questions always helps but you may have to be careful how you ask and who you're asking, but be prepared you may find yourself becoming the local backyard chicken advocate in yoir area,
14 years ago we were living in the hyde park neighborhood in Norfolk Va. One afternoon the kids next door came in saying there's a chicken in a tree down the street: Me bein an ex country kid went to see what they were talking about. Well in the lower branches of this tree sat a rooster a game rooster and later we found a game hen hiding in the brush of the fence line I caught both and brought them home, I put them in a pen I built so I could deal with a female cat's heat cycles until i could get her fixed, the hen had some sort of staple affixed to her upper mandible that made it hard for her to eat anything I offered her I removed it, wanting to give the guilty party a swift kick in the "tender bits" She seemed to be a sweet bird and happily ate every thing I put in front of her
As much as I would have liked I did not have the right facilities to keep them so I call the local SPCA They came the next morning and the gentleman who picked them up told me If your neighbors don't mind you could have kept the hen.
