Ok, so why DID the chicken cross the road? Probably because someone on the other side was feeding them illegally.
Years ago, a family member vacationing in Florida told me this tale of feral chickens roaming the streets in some Florida communities. I had a hard time believing it then, but an Associated Press story in a recent Hutchinson News suggests it’s a problem once again.
The story tells about free-roaming feral chickens in Key West Florida. It says: “With the population getting out of hand, city commissioners are taking action – not by hunting down the fixings for a massive tailgate party, but by going after their human enablers.”
