RIDGECREST, CALIF. - A chicken fined $54 for crossing a road in California has had the charge thrown out in court.
The ticket was dismissed after a lawyer for the bird's owners argued that it was domesticated, not livestock.
Under state law, it's illegal for livestock to be on highways. Domestic animals are free to get to the other side.
