I was sitting quietely in my apartment on roy and bellevue and I heard a sound that i haven’t heard since i was in the country, years ago.

I looked out my window… and yes, a cock and a hen hanging out in the alley by Roy St…

I could not locate an owner…

Hmmmmm. Perhaps The Slog can help…

Thanks !

Anyone missing their chickens?

My cat (who could easily be mistaken for a fat hen from above) is here and my boyfriend hasn't misplaced his cock. So, no. Sorry. :(

Sounds like an opportunity for Mr. Kiley:

Free-range urban poultry!

Someone should shoot them.

while I doubt it was the same bird, I saw a red hen by the side of the road at Mt. Baker Beach a couple of weeks ago. Must be a plot.

Then I met a lover.
One night, she made me dinner.
Licking finger, I wondered
where she got the chicken.

I know my chicken
You got to know your chicken
I know my chicken
You got to know your chicken
I know my chicken
You got to know your chicken
I know my chicken
You got to know your chicken

When there is no one else to turn to

Farm animals 'hanging out' in Seattle! Oh dear god, how dare they so brazenly disrupt urban bliss?

Now that I'm somewhat sober again, I have to ask...

Dorothy? I can't think of a single person on the face of the Earth that I have met that actually had that name.

As much as I don't want to veer from the REAL ISSUE AT HAND (chicken in Seattle), I know a Dorothy.

Mr. Poe needs to get out more.

Hmm. On second thought, that's not in anybody's best interest, is it?

I know a Dorothy, too.

And the presence of chickens in Capitol Hill - the only part of Seattle dense, urban and vibrant enough to be worth living in, according to this week's Stranger - is truly shocking indeed. If there are chickens in Capitol Hill, I expect to see cows and horses in my neighborhood before long.

per the SMC: 3 fowl are allowed. one vietnamese pot-bellied pig is allowed, as one of 3 domestic animals, max. no cows or horses allowed.

someone's chicken coop got left open. BFD. welcome to the oil-starved future.

yes, my name is Dorothy and i am not 95.
but let's get back to the issue at hand people !
the chickens !!!! it's about the chickens !!!
i even provided photo documentation of said sighting. heard them again this morning at the crack of dawn.
it's very disorienting.

I saw them when I left my house this morning. It made my day. Several of my neighbors were chatting about them and strangers don't talk much on this corner. I hope they take up residence in the green belt. They just need to watch out for raccoons and find a source of good water. When I heard the rooster crow I thought it was much nicer than the sound of the garbage truck.
