It was a pit chicken, and it was coming right for him.

As someone who has covered local government, chickens are the single most emotional issue I’ve ever dealt with. People love their chickens.

A “chicken on the loose”. Good grief.

40 years ago, people would have been well associated with chickens in the neighborhood unless they lived in a city. My city allows chickens and my neighbor has a dozen. No noise, no mess, no fuss.

If a chicken were to get out, I would contact my neighbor, or failing to do that, attempt to get the chicken back in his yard. I wouldn’t be calling the police about a “chicken on the loose”. That like calling about a squirrel or rabbit “on the loose” in your yard.

It is almost impossible not to love a flock of chickens.

'I never meant for this to happen.'

Seriously? Was it Twinkies, PMS, sunspots or the Tri-Lateral Commission that caused you to chase the chicken and then kill it with a shovel? How is that not "meaning" it?

The chicken had just stolen a box of blunts from the 7/11, roughed up Abu the store clerk and was walking out in the street blocking traffic. He was asking for it. :-)

“According to police reports, a neighbor repeatedly complained about a ‘chicken on the loose’ and said a hen wandered into a residential area near an elementary school.”

Wow.

If that scenario doesn’t freeze your blood with fear, I don’t know what would.
