The same thing is happening to me. If I travel away from my home lot in Henford-on-Bagley, or switch to playing a different household, my chickens are sometimes gone when I return home/resuming playing my original household. I have a fox alarm installed and I do not have the Wild Foxes lot challenge, so it's unlikely that foxes are the culprit. I take good care of my chickens, so I see no reason why they would have left due to inadequate care.
I have replicated this bug at least 5 or 6 times on my latest save. I have also experienced a similar bug with disappearing cows, which I reported here.
