The Silence of the Chickens

Upon arrival at Horsenden Farm, seven GoodGymers learnt that the chicken coop had been a scene of a terrible crime. The notorious predator fox decimated the population of Horsenden chickens and geese. After a couple of bird survivors had been taken home by Elsa, the chicken coop ceased to exist. Its structure had been taken down, and the GoodGymers arrived to do forensics. They were to investigate the top six inches of the soil to find clues about the night-time massacre. With subtle instruments such as forks and shovels, the GoodGym team found traces of chicken poo, hay, seashells and tiles in the clay soil. They also excavated potential murder weapons: bricks, glass and two large pieces of concrete.

Elsa asked the GoodGym forensics team to dump the already analysed layer of soil into the space she had prepared for a new compost pile. Sevan, Penny and Kash were joined by an independent detective Kieran, and the rest of the investigators moved to another assignment. Paul, Ijo, Roberta and Steph Ducat examined the compacted compost in the enclosed area of the car park but didn't find anything suspicious. Elsa was still pleased that they moved the compost out of the way onto a big pile.

Paul and Roberta had one more investigation to carry out while at the farm: tip the large tubs with soil and examine the dirt in search of any forbidden plants. The Horsenden Farm came out clear in that test, so the investigators concluded they could trust its food and drink. Eight detectives gathered together for their final investigation of fire-baked pizza and nettle beer and found them guilty of being incredibly tasty.
