Sorry these photos are both currently upside down. Some technical thing. Stand by for image righting!
Yes, yes…the chickens crossed the road. But, the question on EVERYONE’S mind is…WHY???? FOR HEAVEN’S SAKE, WHY!?!?!?!?
They came from a house on Belmont & Howell. I used to live right next to them. The chickens would get out sometimes, but they never got more than a block or so in the past…
Can’t say I’m surprised though. That house was always really sketchy.
I’m not one to make a habit of complaining about hipsters, but this is what happens when they decide to keep chickens.
Seattle is the new Kauai?
chicken pot

chicken pot PIEEEEEEEEE!
One’s black, and one’s not. Better put Mr. Mudede on the case!
Call out the National Guard!!!
Run, little chickens, Run!!
FREEEEEEEEEDOM!!
FRIED CHICKEN TONIGHT!!!!
See? SEE?! This is what happens when we try to get all “rural-urban” in some sort of rosy-glassed idealistic effort to become “green”: Chickens running around in the streets, dodging cars, causing accidents, enraging dogs. I’ve seen ’em at 30th & Jackson area too. Just running around, avoiding pedestrians, flying into the lower branches of trees. It’s a mess. A TRAVESTY I tell you. It’ll all end in tears.
@11 It’s gonna end in some good eating at my place…not tears!

The chickens have escaped; their blackness, inner and outer, could not be restrained. Even they long for Africa.
Why did the chicken cross the road???
To prove to the possum that it could be done.
This will make some raccoon very, very happy.
There is only one realistic answer to the question as to why a chicken crossed a road…. this happens where there are NO possums, so you are not totally correct. A chicken crosses a road to get to the other side, same as you…;-D
Run, chickies. I know the feeling, esp. irt sketchy hipsters.
It’s about time someone improved Slog by putting a bird on it.
+1 for an appropriate Portlandia reference.
Do you think they have many friends? What are their names??
Found your new Unpaid Interns!
My neighbors have chickens. They wake up at 5:00am and make a whole bunch of chicken noise. I hate them.
Those are Puppy & Jeff’s chickens (the managers of the Cuff) they get out sometimes no worries.
Dude, I am in downtown Hanoi right now, and there are loose chickens on every street.
They crossed the road only to get to the other side! Sheesh, everyone knows that!
Well, I hope they’re fixed.
Nice pics. I can hear the chickens complaining. What a sleuth reporting job.
These chickens came from the house at 13th and Howell, the one with the farm in the front yard. I think they just installed the coop and it looks like their fence is not sufficiently chicken-proof. My dog nearly ate them yesterday morning, because I wasn’t looking out for chickens on the sidewalk.
