It’s not necessarily part of the everyday duties of a state trooper to capture chickens, but the Oklahoma Highway Patrol said some troopers did just that last week in Tulsa.
OHP said a truck with a makeshift trailer was losing chickens on I-44 between 165th East Avenue and 145th East Avenue. The birds, scattered across that mile stretch, OHP said.
When a trooper saw a woman trying to collect them herself, OHP said troopers got involved.
Troopers said, with a little patience, all of the chickens were safely captured and removed from the roadway.
“Just another day in the life of our dedicated team, keeping the highways safe—one chicken at a time!” OHP posted on social media.
