Mystery chickens found wandering loose in Wisconsin neighborhood

Sept. 5 (UPI) -- Police in Wisconsin are trying to find the owner of a pair of domesticated chickens found wandering loose through a neighborhood.

The Neenah Police Department said in a Facebook post that the hens were found Wednesday in the area of Nicolet Boulevard and 2nd Street in Neenah.

The department offered some theories on why the birds "flew the coop," including the desire to catch a "chick flick" and fear of "the a-peck-alypse."

"Perhaps they were just being comedi-hens," police wrote.

The chickens were taken to the Neenah Animal Shelter.
