How to NOT have your chicken ran over...

[KofLee]

Yeah I'm still a newbie....but please keep your chicks in check. I was on my way to work this morning (I live in Austin). Saw a dead/dying Bantam in the road. Past by, looked in the rearview...saw a truck pass saw a chicken try to get to the curb. Pulled a U-Turn put on my hazards & picked up the chicken. Was in the driveway w/4 other Bantams by the curb, driveway & busy street. Calling, holding a dying chicken....this guy squeezes through his gate w/two dogs barking their **** heads off. He didn't seem too upset about it. I am going to start carrying scratch & a big box. I see those Bantams again I'm gonna snatch/claim them. Just upset, had to share. Please keep your chicks in check.

That is too bad, I guess some people don't care, they might if they knew they could be held responsible for any damages if their chickens caused a wreck.

They may not care about the chickens running loose, but they may care about you taking what's theirs. That's theft no matter how you try to justify it.
