Students get day off after chicken prank

        Philadelphia, PA - Students in a Philadelphia school received a "chicken day" on Monday. When employees arrived at Northeast High School they witnessed fifty chickens running through the halls. District officials claimed the chickens must have been let into the school sometime over the weekend. The halls were covered in chicken feed and droppings. The majority of the 3,600 students were sent home so the employees could clean up the mess. "Officials said there has to be an upset poultry farmer somewhere who wants his chickens back. For now, the birds are at the district's agricultural school. And school officials' feathers are more than a little ruffled. They warn the person who committed the prank will face a fine that won't be chicken scratch (AP)."
