Yom Kippur Chickens Seized In Brooklyn

Authorities have seized more than 100 chickens from a Brooklyn construction site lot at Coney Island Ave. And Ave. L, where the flock of foul-smelling birds were kept over the High Holy Days.

Things got out of hand after two days when passersby complained about the smell, possibly because some chickens died.
It was unclear last night whom the chickens belonged to, and no one was charged. The birds were taken to an ASPCA center.

"It's just a misunderstanding," said a Rabbi.
