Chiba prefectural police said Saturday that the remains of about 50 chickens were found along a three-kilometer stretch of highway between Narita and Katori.
According to police, the chickens were noticed on National Route 51 at around 6:30 p.m. Friday, NTV reported.
Authorities scooped up the remains of the birds which had been run over several times.
Police believe the chickens must have fallen off the back of a truck from a farm or meat processing plant.

The death of chickens and dogs is sad, but the early termination of humans is a common accepted practice.

Dead dogs get outrage and disgust. Dead chickens get only jokes. Sad.

I'm glad they cleaned it up cos so many chickens would left a very foul smell.

No indication of fowl play, but that's got to ruffle your feathers.

So why DID the chicken cross the road?
