Truck carrying chickens overturns, prompts punny Facebook post

FORSYTH, Ga. -- A tractor trailer hauling chickens overturned Monday night in Forsyth, causing the fire department to "hatch" a plan to round them all up.

According to Monroe County Emergency Services (MCES), the trailer overturned on Maynard's Mill Road at Highway 42 South. As noted in a Facebook post on MCES' page, when firefighters arrived, they realized that "something was afoul."

No one was injured, but MCES noted that a few chickens "had their feathers ruffled."

In their Facebook post, MCES said that there is "still no word on why some of the chickens crossed the road."
