Watch Out For The Quiet Type

Durango, Colorado news finds its way to a Southern Oklahoma newspaper and appears in The Daily Ardmoreite, Ardmore, Oklahoma, 11/20/2009 -- "Durango ? A person in a chicken costume ruffled the feathers of Durango's city council as its members discussed rules for backyard fowl.

"At a council meeting Tuesday, someone in a chicken costume quietly entered the council chambers just as the mayor was discussing a recently-passe backyard hen ordinance.

"The costumed chicken took a few turns, flapped its arms, then took a seat in the nearly empty gallery.

"Several minutes later, the big bird left -- without identifying itself -- after laying an egg on the floor.

"Council members told The Durango herald they were perplexed by the costumed chicken but found the visit humorous. The council voted 3-2 earlier this month to make it easier to keep backyard chickens."
