As I looked at the damage I noticed one of the blocks had been misplaced - hard for a chicken to do unless they used pulleys and made a little chicken tug of war game or something.
On closer inspection it appears that a block was kind of crushed. Confused, I looked to my left and saw it...
What the #$(*&(@#%&@*/. I looked to make sure there weren't any smashed cats (all accounted for) and then trudged up the hill to see where it came from.
Way up top near a Flamboyant (that I planted from seed - look how big it is) I see a hole.
When I get up there I confirmed that yes, that rock came from all the way up top!
It is a good thing it was not a round rock - it is flat on all sides. It still managed to go down the hillside in a little runway, hop my flat path with built up sticks, roll over the vetiver (which popped back up into place) and then catapulted down the drop taking out a couple plants, dislocating a couple and settling just inches away from the newly painted walkway outside the kitchen! (Look at the nice clean, newly sealed roof.) Imagine solar panels up there...
Here's the view from up at the vetiver - the hillside is taller than the roof of the house.
As always the cats decided this new arrival was a new toy - they mobbed around it like meercats and played king of the rock for a while.
