Tiditoy Bailey of the Britt Tribune posted a strange method to deter neighbors chickens in his yard. He printed small cards bearing the message Keep your chickens at bay Bailey and tied a corn grain to the thread.

The tale claims Bailey now has a garden large enough to eat and the chicken nuisance is gone.
