Ducks and chickens have been stolen in an overnight burglary at Finkley Down Farm.

Offenders accessed the Picket Piece premises between 6pm last night and 9.15am this morning taking seven ducks and four chickens which were locked in their pens.

The ducks were call-ducks, one was a mallard and the other six were white in colour.

The chickens were black Pekin bantams, one cock and three hens, identifiable by their feathery feet.

Police believe it is likely that they have been stolen to sell on or keep as pets as none of them are suitable to eat.

If you have any information about the suspects or have been offered these birds, contact Hampshire Police on 101 quoting 44150171919.
