Why did the chicken cross the road? We don’t know, but now he’s in police custody.

Drivers at Kingston and Galloway roads found their commute delayed this morning when a large bird wandered into traffic around 8 a.m.

Police reported on Twitter that there was a “turkey or a large chicken on loose, causing a traffic disturbance.”

Moments after egging on morning commuters, officers made an arrest for fowl play.

“The chicken has made it to the other side of the road,” tweeted @TPSOperations. “Now in custody! Traffic in the area back to its regular flow!”
