Fowl Deeds
A ruthless gang of chickens invaded a high school in Philadelphia earlier today, leaving biological graffiti in their wake.
PHILADELPHIA - Monday mornings are hard enough. Imagine finding 50 chickens running loose in your high school.
Workers arriving about 5:30 a.m. to open Northeast High School in Philadelphia found dozens of hens and roosters wandering around the hallways. The birds were apparently brought to the school sometime over the weekend, said school district spokesman Fernando Gallard.
"We don't know where the chickens came from or who they belong to," Gallard said. "I'm pretty sure there is a very upset poultry farmer somewhere who wants them back."
The floors were covered with droppings and chicken feed. Most of the school's 3,600 students were sent home for the day because the school required extensive cleanup, he said.
Obviously, this is connected with the animal uprising. Unless it's merely a case of the chickens coming home to roost.

More featherbedding by the teachers’ union, I expect.

“Dirty deeds and they’re done dirt cheap.”
I raised chickens, you could clean up after 50 of them in about an hour if you didn’t panic, that is some great fertilizer.

Again, the chickens get all the attention. Nothing, NOTHING for us songbirds.
