LETTER TO THE EDITOR | Nighttime a good time for catching wild chickens in Langley

Editor, Langley is in a fowl mood over chickens and how to remove them. Just wait until they roost and then catch them in the dark. I had to remove birds from trees when they scorned the chicken house and using the night approach worked every time. Hiring a “town crier” to announce the ordinance to the birds. Are they “refugees” per the UN resettlement program? Running for their lives from a Kentucky colonel? Money might come from Washington DC for their care.

Editor,

Langley is in a fowl mood over chickens and how to remove them. Just wait until they roost and then catch them in the dark. I had to remove birds from trees when they scorned the chicken house and using the night approach worked every time.

Hiring a “town crier” to announce the ordinance to the birds. Are they “refugees” per the UN resettlement program? Running for their lives from a Kentucky colonel? Money might come from Washington DC for their care. It would be just “chick feed” from compared to what is being spent nationally.

Identity: three Rhode Island males and mixed ethnicity females in the group; ages unknown. The local constabulary is keeping them under surveillance.

Thankfully businesses are not in need of poop control as would be if the birds were geese from our northern neighbors.
