FOWL PLAY

The island paradise of Bermuda is suffering an unusual affliction ……. over 30,000 feral chickens.  The birds, originally derived from domestic stock, were released to the wild either by irresponsible owners or during Hurricane Emily.  A pair of wild fowl can produce up to 15 chicks in 20 weeks, and the chicks reach breeding age after five weeks. Several methods have been tried to suppress this avian tide but the ultimate solution has now been implemented …… they have called in Colonel Sanders.
