PHILADELPHIA - Monday mornings are hard enough. Imagine finding 50 chickens running loose in your high school. Workers arriving about 5:30 a.m. to open Northeast High School in Philadelphia found dozens of hens and roosters wandering around the hallways. The birds were apparently brought to the school sometime over the weekend, said school district spokesman Fernando Gallard.
"We don't know where the chickens came from or who they belong to," Gallard said. "I'm pretty sure there is a very upset poultry farmer somewhere who wants them back."
The floors were covered with droppings and chicken feed. Most of the school's 3,600 students were sent home for the day because the school required extensive cleanup, he said.
A farmer was called to round up the birds and bring them to Fox Chase Farm, the district's agricultural school, Gallard said.
Police are checking surveillance tapes to see if they can determine the perpetrator of the fowl prank. The culprit will have to pay a hefty fine, said Gallard.
"It's not going to be chicken scratch," he said.

Well, I’m just glad they remembered to feed them! Did they leave any water?

The newsworthiness of loose chicks in high school is debatable.

I released a goat, skunk and a garter snake (THAT was interesting, watching a man over 6 feet tall climb on top of his desk and continue teaching as though nothing had happened). There were probably a few other critters that year, but I don’t rightly remember. It;s been a while.

The rub was they were painted “1” “2” and “4”. Nowdays, especially in a Philly public school, that might not have been as effective.
