Does anybody else remember chickens roaming freely on the Southbank in the area near MOSH, River City Brewing, and the fountain? I think I remember this from the 1994/95 timeframe.
I mentioned this to someone the other day and they thought I was crazy.
I remember that. A while ago the TU did an article about it with pictures. If I remember correctly, they were nice looking chickens, with long plumage.
I think animal control rounded up chickens in Springfield so maybe the same thing happened to the Southbank chickens.
I remember them there since the 70s.
the chickens are still roaming around the brooklyn area.
They were very tasty... ;D
good troll food huh? I'm thinking they made dog food but I'm not sure. There is a law that says roaming ducks, you know those old ugly looking black and white messy birds, that they are not covered by ethical treatment....so you can make dog food out of them and that's what some people do to them. I'm not sure if chickes get afforded that same protection....but those ugly messy loud ducks are nothing more then dog food to me.
I think they call em "free range" chickens... ;D

Cooked over a shopping cart grill with some wine poured over it..(Coq au Vin?) In some scenic Peyton pocket park..ahh those were the days. ;)
Oh yes, that's hemingway pigeon.
Likewise, a guest from Frankfurt said, “We don’t have a problem with pigeons in our parks. About six am every morning, they go out and shoot them.â€
Free range squab??? :D
