If your neighbor has a chicken farm and one gets in your yard, can you eat it? (20)
Why not be a good neighbor and simply return it?

Ken_19: What if it is his prize rooster and you catch it on your land? Is it ethical to just eat it? A week later when he tells you he suspects a fox ate his rooster, should you confess?
Do you thank him for the compliment?

I can't tell if this is a joke or a serious question.
Have you ever killed, plucked, gutted, butchered, a chicken? It's not something for the novice. Hardly worth the work involved. I'd rather just drive to MacDonald's for some chicken nuggets ready to eat.
Chicken processing is best left to a big processing plant where they can do 1000 chickens an hour.
As to a neighbors chicken coming onto your property, don't look a gift horse in the mouth. Chickens will clean out all the Ticks and Chiggers from your property as well as distribute the best fertilizer you can get and if that's not enough they will also help with mowing your lawn. Yes, chickens eat grass though not a lot.
Prize Rooster??? Every rooster I've ever owned tried to attack me every time I turned my back on him. My last foray into keeping chickens for an egg selling business included no roosters. I will never own another rooster.
Legally, if livestock wanders onto your property you can do whatever you want with it. Of course good relations with a neighbor is probably more valuable than a rooster or even a pig.

I would contact the owner and tell them about the chicken and return it.

English and Scots don't love each other much. There's a story about a Scot owning hens and one went every day into his English neighbour's garden and laid an egg. The Englishman, call him Ian, always kept the egg and never offered payment, it was driving Jimmy mad. Finally he tackled him about it and suggested they try an old Scottish solution. Each would take turns kicking the other in the crotch. The one who got to his feet fastest after the kick won - if it was Ian, he could keep the eggs, if it was Jimmy, Ian had to either return the daily egg or pay for it.
Jimmy got first kick. Ian rolled around in agony for nearly 7 minutes, then staggered to his feet, popping-eyed and sweaty, and said hoarsely "my turn"
"nay, pal, I changed mah mind" Jimmy said happily "youse can keep the eggs".

Jimmy must be a short order cook because he made scrambled eggs out of Ians Jumbo's.

I have had the same problem with people letting their dogs wander around my yard chasing the wildlife. If I am polite about it, its an ongoing issue and nothing changes. Offer to shoot it, and peel off a few rounds, and hey presto they fix their fence and control their dogs all of a sudden.

I'd return the rooster to my neighbor as quickly as I'd returned leaves that blew off their trees into my yard.

And Ooby would know. He owns chickens.

if it happening too many times, I guess I'll cook it and blame the fox for that missing chicken

i think it kinda depends how dirty your land is.
if you have radioactive or biohazard grass then i wouldn't recommend it.
Birds can be sensitive for a few illnesses that could kill you to.
I think after my garden a chicken would still be edible

You have this thread in the category of Health, Fitness, Diet and Beauty.
So I have to assume that you are going to eat the chicken.
There are several scenarios I can present to you:
1. If the United Parcel truck driver leaves a package at your door that is meant for your neighbor, are you going to keep the package or tell your neighbor it was left at your house by mistake?
2. If your neighbor had a daycare center and one of the children got out of the fenced yard and onto your property, are you going to take the child into your house and not tell anyone that you have it?

It's not a question of ethics. It's a question of law.
Do you have good title to said chicken? No you don't, so it isn't yours to eat.
On the question of the suspicion of a fox eating his chicken...
Well, you look like a bit of a silver-fox in your pic, so there's no need to confess that you ate it when all you need to do is agree with his suspicion. Also, he isn't asking if you ate it, so no need to confess to something you haven't been asked to confess to.
You're welcome
