Help us, we don't know what to do!

Post by genlock »

WEIRTON, W.Va.

Weirton officials have enlisted the federal government's help in figuring out what to do about at least 70 wild chickens that are roaming a city neighborhood.
City Council approved a contract this week for a study that will be conducted by the U.S. Department of Agriculture's Animal and Plant Health Services.
Weirton Police Chief Bruce Marshall says the federal agency will conduct a preliminary site investigation and then design a plan for the birds' possible removal.
Marshall says an estimated 70 to 100 wild chickens live in the Kings Creek Bowl area.
A Mr. Henry Hawk has been contacted.

Sounds like Key West.

Except, er, in Wierton.

70, huh?

I guess we now know what they are doing when they cross the road.

You could always get some large speakers and play the "Chicken Dance". That is sure to make them, or someone Fowl!

Weirtonians should expect a 6-12 month delay, as the Federal Nuisance Poultry Administration (FNPA) is still working on the Goose Shit Mitigation Initiative at Parkersburg City Park.

You can't go into these things half-cocked.

Uh, in the old Foghorn Leghorn cartoon, wasn't there a character called the "Chicken Hawk?"
