Loose chickens subject neighborhood to fowl play
That's what you get for moving into a neighborhood called "Barnside." From Fred Pilot:
The Barnside neighborhood in Columbia is living up to its name. Since March, Barnside residents and police have been frantically trying to track down nearly 20 chickens and roosters who have run amuck in the community - clucking, crowing and waking residents up in the early morning hours. "They wake people up at 5 in the morning," said Gerrie Bischoff, the president of the Barnside Condominium Association, which is located near Howard Community College in the heart of Columbia. "We had one man come into our meeting demanding to know who was raising chickens."
