"I think you know there's something unusual going on,"
Crashing chooks ruffle residents' feathers
There are two reports of houses being damaged by plucked chickens crashing through their roofs in Newcastle in the New South Wales Hunter Valley.
Warrick Slee says when he and his family returned to their Fletcher home on Sunday after a weekend away, they found a smelly house and eventually located a rotting animal corpse in the ceiling.
Last month, another resident of the same suburb reported a plucked chicken had crashed through the roof of his home.
Mr Slee says he did not believe it at first, but now he is not so sure.
"I think you know there's something unusual going on," he said.
"I don't have all the answers or anything like that, but birds or chickens or whatever it is, they don't just fall from the sky and put holes in people's roofs.
"And even if it is something natural that's fair enough, but if there's some funny business going on then the police need to know about it because where this actually hit the house is actually not too far away from the swing set that my kids play on."
