DURANGO, Colo. — A person in a chicken costume ruffled the feathers of Durango’s city council as its members discussed rules for backyard fowl.
At a council meeting Tuesday, someone in a chicken costume quietly entered the council chambers just as the mayor was discussing a recently-passed backyard hen ordinance.
The costumed chicken took a few turns, flapped its arms, then took a seat in the nearly empty gallery.
Several minutes later, the big bird left — without identifying itself — after laying an egg on the floor.
Council members told The Durango Herald they were perplexed by the costumed chicken but found the visit humorous. The council voted 3-2 earlier this month to make it easier to keep backyard chickens.
