NPR: Most Update: Philly High School Back Open after Chickengate

Most Update: Philly High School Back Open after Chickengate

As you heard on this morning's Most, Northeast Philadelphia High School was overrun with more than eighty chickens yesterday. School was canceled as the chickens were escorted out and the mess they left was cleaned up.

Today, Northeast is back in session, though the origin of the chickens--all hens--remains a mystery. Somewhere in Pennsylvania, there's a very lonely rooster.

I'll never forget during my junior year standing outside the library waiting for it to open when the door down the hall that led outside swung open and some big guy in a winter facemask released about five piglets into the school. Your chicken story reminded me.
