Kerry, 33, has had the fowl for seven years and mentioned she was “heartbroken” when the loss was found.

“We are heartbroken and think it’s highly likely she’s been taken.
“She was hand reared and has never been wild, all she knows is us. If you have taken her please find some goodness in your heart to bring her home.”
Kerry, a nursing sister, mentioned Chico was “loved in every single way” by the household, together with her fiance Conrad.
She added: “She’s been handled by me and Conrad for all these years, is very happy and likes to act like a cat, such as sitting at the back door like our cats waiting to come in.
“She loves to dunk in the bird bath and loves our garden and surroundings, even loves a cuddle and sitting on heads!”
