OREM Detectives investigating potential drug activity in Orem said they discovered a suspected cock fighting operation.
The Utah County Major Crimes Unit served a search warrant on an Orem residence Tuesday. Inside the basement of the home, officers found a bedroom that contained hundreds of baby chickens and sharpened metal spurs that are tied to the legs of male chickens in order to inflict more damage to another chicken when fighting, according to a police affidavit.
Utah County Sheriff s Sgt. Spencer Cannon said there were thousands of chickens throughout the inside and outside of the property. Some of the chickens had their spur cut down in order for the blades to (be) attached, the affidavit states.

Officials said she had few supplies and little food but was resourceful and wanted solitude.
A survival expert told Insider how the woman might ve been able to survive the extreme conditions.
In November, when Forest Service officials in Utah were preparing to close up parts of the Spanish Fork Canyon for the winter, they discovered a seemingly abandoned car in a campground parking lot.
A search-and-rescue crew set out to look for the woman the car belonged to but came up dry. Detectives spent months trying, without success, to find and contact her family. Five and a half months passed without any sign of her.
