Our neighbour had a few hens, one of which escaped 3 times! She was a one eyed Polish Hen called Goldie and she had a personality! On each of the 3 occasions she came into our yard and was happily wandering around when we cornered her (with some difficulty) and kept her safe until her owners could pick her up at the end of the day.
Last August, I just had to sketch the thank you gifts from them – a huge bunch of home grown herbs, an assortment of beautifully coloured eggs from their hens...and of course Goldie.
PS: Sadly Goldie was killed last week together with a couple of the other hens. The general consensus is that a fox had got into the chicken pen when the gate was accidentally left open. Foxes apparently do live in our outer suburb of the city!
