A volunteer from the CSS (Columbia Secondary School) Garden, located on 119th and Amsterdam Avenue, reached out to us to bring awareness to their missing chicken.
If you didn’t know there were chickens in Morningside Heights, neither did we. We knew there were peacocks. But there are also chickens. There are four of them, Patch writes.
Every now and then, they get to explore.

But they have everything they need right at home.

Their names are Mrs. Patmore, Big Fluff, Penguino, and Lady Sybil – who went missing late Wednesday.
“Our community has been on a chicken hunt day and night hoping to find her,” the volunteer told us. “Please help us find our chicken.” Lady Sybil has lived at the garden for several years.

Lady Sybil is on the left. Mrs. Patmore is on the right.
If you spot Lady Sybil, please contact garden@columbiasecondary.org.
Walter O’Reily probably made arraignments to have the chicken relocated to his Aunt’s farm in Iowa to keep Charles Lamb company.
Was the chicken found? I saw a chicken on south side of American History Museum on Thursday! That was so long ago…
Went to the garden today. She has been found. 🙂
Aloha all! To make up for your loss, would you like to import about 100,000 Honolulu chickens and roosters who roam all over the CITY. Yes CITY of Honolulu. They are a scourge.
