Chicken spotted on Dorchester street, this time still alive

Chicken, wondering whether it should cross the road.
Craebeck wonders who lost this chicken, spotted this morning on Lydon Way near Adams.
The sighting marks a departure from past Boston chicken sightings, which have involved chickens no longer able to lay eggs.

Adorable!
Righteous coop coup d'etat
Another avian shattered the shackles of their corrupt colonial oppressors and unwaveringly undertook the first of many triumphal steps on crossing the long liberating road to freedom.
Those horrible humans whom intern these feathered forcibly imported immigrants to greedily gather and devour their chicks for bountiful breakfasts before doing the same to the brave brooders for 'delicious' dinners take heed. The oppressed flocks will one day crow the dawn of your undoing!
The mind boggles
What kind of person decides to keep laying hens and then just kicks them to the curb when they don't lay any more? What were they thinking? You are responsible for the animal - kill it and eat it if you want, or keep it and care for it, don't just turn it loose.
Well, That's Not Exactly The Story ...
Adam's reference to "chickens no longer able to lay eggs" was just a euphemism for dead chickens. You know... because a dead chicken can no longer ... etc.
Nonetheless, I do feel bad for the poor forlorn chicken in today's story. I hope she finds her way home. She looks very much like a chicken I once knew in Ft. Lauderdale named Phyllis. She and her sister Marlene made lots of eggs for breakfast, and eventually they made dinner too.
The "chef" at the time did not tell me I had eaten Phyllis or Marlene until after the fact (though their raucous brothers found their way to her kitchen much earlier). I was taken aback at first, but, as adorable as they were, Phyllis and Marlene were also very delicious!
Should we assume this chicken
Should we assume this chicken is lost and in trouble? Or could she just be a free-range chicken doing her free ranging?
That's one fine lookin bird
I don't often make the front page of universal hub!

...get away ftom them turkeys, I suspect
