Fergie the chicken, the unofficial mascot of the McDonald's in Refugio, was stolen on Sunday. Ranging Reporter JJ Velasquez was at IHOP Thursday morning asking folks about this unsolved mystery. If you have any clues to this case, please call the Unsolved Mysteries - er, Victoria Advocate - tip line.

Q: What was the motive in the chicknapping of Fergie the chicken?

A: "I have no idea what anyone would want with that chicken. So I think she just left."

Ted Jacobs, supervisor, Victoria

A: "Somebody was hungry. I don't know what else someone would steal a chicken for."

Luke Wangen, concrete pump operator, Corpus Christi

A: "It was probably some kids wanting attention, so that would be my guess. It's a small town. There's nothing to do, so it was probably people just trying to get attention."

Kim Shaw, member services specialist, Victoria

A: "Maybe they got more chickens for their farm."

Juan Hernandez, PetSmart, Victoria

    ex - since you broke the distasteful barrier, last Sunday morning I cracked five eggs in a bowl to scramble. One had two yolks. Not long ago, I heard a science story about a successful hatching of two chicks from one egg, that both survived. As I started whipping the fork through the breakfast to be, I smiled, wondering if a certain local anti-abortion, bloody fetus sign carrying nut ball, indulged in breakfasts of bacon and embryos......and if he did, did he ever have twins for breakfast, as did we last weekend..........

    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.........
