Custody battle waged over chicken caught on Calif. bridge

OAKLAND, Calif. -- Three people are claiming ownership of the small brown chicken that fouled up rush-hour traffic in the San Francisco Bay Area earlier this week.

The Oakland Tribune reports Friday that the Oakland Animal Shelter has the chicken that strutted between cars at the Bay Bridge toll plaza early Wednesday.

She was eventually captured by the California Highway Patrol.

Animal Services Director Rebecca Katz says people claiming ownership of the chicken, named Chip in a nod to the CHP, need to come to the facility with proof, such as previous photos of the famous foul.

Two rescue groups are also interested in Chip.

  4. Saw this on video a couple of days ago reminded me of a few times when sea gulls would try to play chicken with me on the streets of OC. Left quite a few dead gulls on the road over the years.

    Nice hen, a good layer of large brown eggs.
