FIVE stricken chickens were found dumped at the side of a busy dual carriageway earlier this week. The chickens - three cockerels and two hens - were only discovered by chance and looked lethargic, dull and depressed . They had been left in an emergency stopping only layby on Airevalley Road (A650), heading towards Bingley from Crossflatts roundabout, on Tuesday. A RSPCA rescuer, Inspector Taylor, was the person who spotted the chickens in a precarious position and acted on instinct. She had been on her way to another job, but had to save the feathered friends. She said: “In my job I’m always ready for the unexpected but it was still a bit of a surprise to see these chickens roaming loose in the lay-by.
