Portland Today in PDX

These lovely chicks walk around my hood, strutting their stuff like they’re all that. Well, I finally mustered my paparazzi-like skills to catch them walking down infamous SE Taggart Avenue, Portland’s own Melrose Avenue.

Well, OK, maybe not.

Wow, I'd be really nervous about letting my three "girls" run around like that. There are hawks and dogs an' stuff. Plus also, finding all the eggs! Those are some pretty sassy chickens, though, I must say--good lookin' girls, those two. :)

yeah, I'd say it's about as responsible and compassionate as letting your two year old stroll by iteself around the neighborhood. This isn't their natural habitat. This is a city environment in which they have few skills to defend themselves. They're domesticated animals, not a wild part of the ecosystem. It's not safe and the guardian obviously doesn't care much for their well-being.

Those are street chickens. They roll hardcore.

Yeah Tieo, thanks for representing.

WTF? Have you ever seen a chicken chase a cat across the street. They think they're T-Rex's.

And technically, they probably are.

STFU.
