Ranging Reporter J.R. Ortega was at Japaleno's Cafe this morning, where people thought of all the possibilities of what could have happened to Fergie the chicken.

A: "Either someone took it just to be mean or maybe it just left."

Amanda Blanton, Victoria, receptionist

A: "There are a lot of reasons. Hopefully it's not for a turkey dinner."

Alice Fernandez, Victoria, cashier

A: "The motive was probably something to do with someone who had nothing better to do."

Marco Martinez, Victoria, business owner

A: "Either somebody didn't know the history behind the chicken's length of time there or or they were just being malicious."

Frank Cano, Victoria, chemical plant worker

    I'm sure it was done from the most fowl of motives.

    Could have sworn I commented on this story previously. Is this the same chicken, or are we looking at a serial chickennapper?

    First, how original is "Fergie"? I think they should have named it "Nugget". As far as what happened to it, I heard she spent her days running around clucking "this guy is falling, this guy is falling". First place I'd look is for a guy who's fallen from a ladder, then look under him. Should it turn out to be poultrynapping case, if whomever kiped the little walking barbecue plate is apprehended, they had better pray that they aren't captured in Cuero. "judge" Mayer would undoubtedly slap a million dollar bond on them. This chickenapping ferchrissakes. Next time it might be a turkey.........
