Ohio officer helps corral chickens across a road back to their enclosure

Published August 26, 2026 8:05 AM MST

The question of "why did the chicken cross the road," now has a new answer thanks to an Ohio police officer. 

Last week, the Dayton Police Department responded to a call of several chickens that had escaped their enclosure and ended up in the street. 

Officers responded to assist their return to their proper location. 

Dig deeper:

One officer, recorded on body cam, helped shoo the chickens from one side of the street to the other, guiding them to a resident's backyard. 

All chickens appear to have been removed from the road and are safe and accounted for.
