Farmer Tries Whisky Cure for Drunk Chickens
Jacob Foss of Livingstone New York reports his 30 Ply mouth Rocks roosters and hens in a barnyard become drunken after sun heated whisky from an old barrel in a brood shelter. Veterinarian W F Merrill confirms alcohol fumes from the barrel caused the intoxication and the birds gathered at a malt silo as a substitute. Foss shuts them off but fears they may roam the farm for liquor again.
