KEY WEST, Fla. - The man hired to rid this resort city of its prolific and unabashed chickens quit his post, saying city leaders were not committed to the cause.
Parra said the city issued "chicken lists'' telling him which poultry to capture. He said the birds' wanderings made his job impossible.
"You either catch them or you don't,'' Parra said. ``This thing about getting designated chickens in designated areas, that's impossible.'
