The last Durango city council meeting was briefly interrupted by...a chicken? A person in a chicken costume ruffled the feathers of Durango's city council members as they discussed rules for backyard fowl. At a council meeting Tuesday, a chicken 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 after laying an egg on the floor.  The chicken still remains anonymous.

Council members said they were perplexed by the costumed chicken but found the visit humorou, and the mayor was refreshed that the chicken brough humor into the meeting.  The council voted 3-2 earlier this month to make it easier to keep backyard chickens.
