Chickens on the Road
On October the 11th 2007 a lorry load of chickens were being taken from a farm where they were raised to the slaughterhouse. 2,500 birds managed to carryout a daring escape on the A80 near Haggs in Scotland.
When the lorry jack-knifed, true to form, instead of heading for the hills, like headless chickens they dashed about all over the dual carriageway. What they did achieve was to bring much of the traffic between Glasgow and Stirling to a halt.
We would like to wish the lorry driver a speedy recovery, for him it was not funny as he sustained severe back injuries. Naturally, there were casualties amongst the chickens and about 500 died in the escape.
