I don't know, why DID the chicken cross the road?

It got the mail from the mailbox, returned to the house, and sorted the bills from the junk mail.

u/CaptianBrasiliano 54m ago

I keep seeing chickens on the edges of roads and I'm just like why? Are people just letting their chickens run free range in the yard? Or are they escaping? How hard could it be to keep a chicken locked down? Are chickens good at escaping?

Clearly it’s because the grass is greener on the other side.

Once upon a time, when I was working at a Navy lab, we had an infestation of geese.

They tried all sorts of things to run ‘em off, from canine patrols to outline cutouts of wolves or coyotes.

Buuuuuutanyway, I was leaving work one day, and a line of geese was walking down the edge of the road. When they got to a crosswalk, THEY TURNED AND CROSSED THE ROAD!!!

It tickles me to this day.
