Once you have all eight chickens, go to Uncle Hayseed and givehim all 8. The mechanism to give things will ask how many youwant to give. This is why it's easier to wait until you have themall to give them back.

If you have not run into Detective Dan, use the phone in yourbarn, in the house, or by the biker bar to call Detective Dan.The one by the bar costs $1. Where ever he says he is, get therequickly (use the B button to run) and talk to him.
