BOULDER, Colo. -- The principal at a Boulder high school said that he has identified one suspect in a senior prank that involved live chickens and is looking for others involved in the fowl deed.
School officials found 39 chickens dressed in red vests and capes running in the halls of Fairview High School Tuesday morning. With the help of police and students, the birds were herded into the vice principal's office until the Humane Society of Boulder could take them to the shelter.
The head of the Humane Society told the Boulder Daily Camera that the incident shows that students need to be educated about taking care of animals.
"These pranks, while they might seem funny to students, are very stressful to the animals involved," said Lisa Pedersen.
The principal of Fairview said disciplinary action has been taken against one student who was keeping the chickens and others are being sought.
The Humane Society plans to conduct a full investigation and those involved could face misdemeanor charges of animal abandonment. Each of the 39 charges could net a $1,000 fine and 90 days in jail.
"The vast majority of students were concerned about the chickens and their welfare," said Don Stensrud, high school principal.

Grammy, RB, you are cordially invited to suffer along with us and join the ping list. If you aren't...aw, it's probably been used, but what the heck...chicken. Avian honor to have you on the list.

I imagine the principal will tell them not to hatch any more chicken pranks.
I, too, thought it was a wonderful show, but as i got older, i realized that i just had the Hots for mindy!!!!!!
Eggsactly. But you know juvenile delinquents...birds of a feather flock together. It was just a yolk gone wrong. The real question is....what was across the road?
Probably this:
Sorry, I was looking for a pic of KFC and...well, it just needed to be posted.
Sounds to me like the guy is one of those hard-boiled types who can't take a yolk and looks at this as poaching on his turf. Omelette-ing myself get drawn back into this thread because of your crack about hatching pranks, but I think we're scrambling for puns now.
This was a poultry excuse for some kids to have fun. But what the peck, they're just probably trying to scratch out an existence before schools out. Well time to chick out.
"Omelette-ing myself get drawn back into this thread because of your crack about hatching pranks, but I think we're scrambling for puns now."
I think we could banty about a few more. But I don't want to have to scratch and peck for `em, either.
Just damn.
I've combed through every chicken pun I can think of. Shell we call it a day?
LOL. That's what I said, too.
At first I thought those were more photos of Saddam Hussein.
FHS alum ping! Enough puns here for you?
I never was one to pass up a chance at chicken and Rice.
". . .the birds were herded into the vice principal's office. . . ."
So did they get swats?
Have any pics of Martin Luther King? Then we could do some Chicken a la King.
I'm also looking for some old photos of Joe Torre so we can do Chicken Catcher Torre.
Clever headline.
