How likely is it that people took them in your neighborhood?

Do you have a large flock? Are your goose and chicken good buddies? If they got out on their own, you may find them nearby in the morning. Chickens don't seem to see well at night. They kind of become bird zombies, which means they may not be too far away.

If you're rural and have few neighbors, let's hope no one took them. Be sure to look under decks, in trees and shrubs, under cars, and anywhere a chicken can perch. They may be on the ground goose style, though, not perching.

Keep us posted. I'm sorry this happened.

IF your door opens outward & needs to be lifted & no feathers, someone took them. Was the door damaged? Pried open? You should check with your neighbors if they heard or seen anything/one around. Where are you located? Sorry this has happened to you, leave the door open just in case they did get out they may return at night or in the morning but it's more likely someone/something took them.

I am so very sorry to hear of your loss

I am in Aus so do not have the same predators as you would and while I have no experience with raccoons, I have read on here many, many times how they can lift hooks, open doors etc.

If the door opens outwards and the hooks holding it in were bent, I think you are dealing more with an animal predator, not a chickennapping.
