We dropped my son off at college and since it was a long drive we decided to stay at a nearby farm that was also a bed and breakfast.

They didn't keep them in coops so they spent most of their day huddled under a low tree.

Before we left they all started crossing the road. The rooster was on the other side.

I saw nothing in that thread regarding a vehicle used by the chicken-nappers....not even a further mention of the supposedly missing chickens....hell, I'm thinking the whole story might be a hoax, so nothing to get excited over and safe for everyone to go back to bed.
