Pittsburgh university probes pink and purple painted chickens in campus buildings
March 18, 2010 3:30 PM
PITTSBURGH (AP) — Officials at Carnegie Mellon University in Pittsburgh are trying to determine how spray-painted chickens got into various campus buildings and whether the incident was a fraternity prank or something else.
Beth McMaster, a wildlife rehabilitator, has been caring for nine birds removed from campus buildings beginning on Saturday. She says one bird was spray-painted pink, another with purple paint, and others with yellow.
Carnegie Mellon officials say in a statement that students are cooperating with the university's efforts "to understand what happened on Saturday, when farm chickens were found in campus buildings." Any disciplinary action will be handled through the school's internal judicial process.
One bird was found in a student center, another in a racquetball court.
Understand what happened? Geez, Einstein! Pranksters were having a college/frat version of an Easter Egg hunt.

Reminds me of grad school. Beleive it or not, there was an Emu bubble in Tx. It burst about 1994. Folks thought they would get rich raiseing these things and selling the hides to boot makers and the meat (which really is delicious if cooked medium rare) to grocery stores. In the end, the only guys who got rich were the ones selling the first few emus. Anyway, an emu ranch outside of Austin went belly up and there was a foreclosure farm auction. An adult emu was going for $75. Now, being semi-drunk grad students who had been dragged to this thing to help a friend load some goats that had been advertised into his trailer, our ears pricked up. It was a few days before Easter, our friend was a prof and had the key to the faculty office, and a foul tempered, 5' high, piised off emu seemed very seasonal. Fortuately for all of us he talked us down, butI still wish we would have done it. It would have been legendary (though probaly resulting in us getting expelled and our friend fired, still, mere details, plus we had to load all those damn goats, and he owed us something more than Shiner and BBQ). ;D
