[CHAPPS]

Here is a link to some additional photos of a backstage area (used by Reedy Creek Improvement District).

These photos were taken the same day as the ones of River Country (see my other thread at: http://forums.wdwmagic.com/showthread.php?t=112908)

Sorry some of the photos are a little dark. The "chicken" photo will, no doubt, offer some material for more conspiracy theories involving viruses, etc. :lol:

Chickens for the friend chicken at Hoop Dee Doo?? :lookaroun

 

[metscool]

Wow that makes me want to know what those chickens go to. Great pics I also saw the first ones too.

My neighbors have kept 4 chickens like that all season for Osceola County testing for west nile virus etc. It is a bellweather to let an area know it needs to start spraying the canals and drainage areas fer skeeters.

"Sentinal Chickens"?? Is the Homeland Security budget that thin?

 

[CHAPPS]

I was just relieved that I didn't see any turkey legs being prepared in the same area. :lol:

 

[disney_nutter]

the chickens are going to be like lucky the Dino, he actually was animatronic he was grown in rcid.

The first thing I thought of when I saw those pictures was the other island on Lost. I was looking for Kate and Sawyer in the cages.

Wow, that is actually quite scary. Why they would have chickens on River Country Island....i'll never know.

People from out of state may be puzzled by the sentinel chickens, but that is VERY common in Florida. The state health department has sentinel chicken cages like this one set up all over the place. As someone mentioned earlier, the chickens serve one purpose: testing for mosquito-transmitted illnesses, mainly West Nile Virus.

I'm actually quite impressed to see Disney/Reedy Creek is doing this on their own to protect visitors, rather than just relying on the state.

There are about 60 of these cages located around the property.
