There’s a joke in this somewhere about Ray Nagin wanting the New Orleans to become a “Chocolate City” again.

Feral chickens
Sell them to the enviro-whackos as "free range" at quadruple the regular price for chicken.

These welfare cities suck up all the taxpayer funded food stamp money, but they are wasting time and resources feeding and catching chickens. This is a disgrace for anyone with a brain.

Chickens equal food, slackers.

[SIDENET]

capturing the creatures is "extremely hard" and often requires the effort of several officers.

They just need the right guy for the job.

Since Hurricane Katrina, Ruby Melton's 9th Ward enclave has welcomed a new species of neighbor: clucking, crowing, prancing chickens that dart across streets and nest in the trees.

Barbara Young and Michael Sartin have fed the birds for decades.

SINCE Katrina, less than six years ago, Barbara and Michael have fed the birds for DECADES? Something does not add up...

Why not just kill them?

[Kartographer]

I call them PREPS!

How long until they are a protected species by the US Government?

The cure? A .22 rifle with shotshells, shoot the birds, very little danger of hurting people if managed by hunters. Have a bounty on them, it would be fun and feed the poor, or the shooters family.

After reading this article to my dogs, they have put in a vacation request for New Orleans. My Border Collie herds them into the hiding and waiting Red Heeler’s lighning fast clutches. They share the meal. It’s a routine they perfected on our farm, which ran out of chickens. Dogs do not comprehend the supply versus consumption dynamics in a finite economy..................

Ferrel or Federal?

They aren’t really that hard to catch, you just have to condition them. Start with feeding them in a specific area, then put up a few poles, then put some wire between a few poles and gradually do it until the wire forms a pen with a gate. Then shut the gate.

Peel them & eat em. Love that chicken from Popeye’s.

IIRC, feral chickens, if left to their own devices, will after several generations revert back into pure jungle fowl with all their truly wild characteristics.

Perfect tourism opportunity for Louisiana. Promote feral chicken hunting trips. The sound of gunfire is nothing new to New Orleans.

[Bubba]

I just checked... Ain’t none round the Popeye’s store. Zero... zilch...

Perhaps there is a good horror movie here such as: “Attack of the Feral Chickens,” or “ Zombie Chickens.” The Japanese reactor damage with leaking radioactive substance could be tied in along with the Delta Smelt and evil right wing capitalists. A victim could be portrayed as being pecked to death by hundreds of crazed “Feral Chickens.” The possibilities are endless.
