new news  as usual chook went up tree about 5pm  and went to sleep  this morning i went to the front and she was there on the ground eating. , so i hope by this week my catching plan works. but i went across to the hot bread shop as usual , and the girl  said on the way to work she saw a chicken about 50 meters away outside the dentist ,   i dont think it was patricia , i cant see her moving from my front yard , so it looks like a few chickens escaped all at once, or somebody is keeping chickens with an open pen, so i am going to  walk around and see if i can see more.

p.s  and no the chicken was not seen outside the dentist  at 2.30  lol
