Don't believe some of the posts. Those chickens were for checking for encephalitis.More specifically the mosquito born St. Louis Encephalitis.The state had them in areas that had outbreaks of the virus. The C.D.C actually asked us for permission one year to put them on our business property.They were called "Sentinal" chickens.They would come out and take blood samples from the chickens periodically to check for the virus.
