`Zombie chickens' hatch debate over older chickens' fate

PETALUMA (AP) - In this rich agricultural region of Northern California, ranchers have been turning chickens too old to lay eggs into compost at a rate of a half-million hens a year.

But some chickens not properly euthanized have been seen crawling out of the compost piles, earning them the name ``zombie chickens'' -- and hatching a debate over what else might be done with them and other ``spent hens.''

I mean come on America! If we can't even kill chickens how can we possibly complete in the new Global Economy?

Really...

Amazing... I figured they would just send them through the meat grinder and put them in chicken nuggets. I had no idea this was a problem.

I actually wrote a brief journal entry about this movie when the website originally went live earlier this year. I guess it's an example of life imitating art. Well...I guess you can debate whether or not something named "Poultrygeist" is art or not. :P

Blame Bob.

He was supposed to choke the chicken. Guess he just didn't feel up to it that day.

Maybe this is some kind of indication...

...about my mental state, but for some reason the phrase "zombie chicken" and the article triggered this [psychochicken.com].
