Loose chickens raise questions in Iowa City
About 60 chickens were released Monday morning in multiple locations across Iowa City. Shelter officer Willa Hamilton said the birds are adjusting and some residents suspect a prank or protest, while Council members call the act bewildering and unrelated to local politics. Police warned animal cruelty charges could follow if suspects are found, with 20 chickens at the care center and about 40 at a farm.
