PORTLAND, Ore. (KOIN) — The Pink Chickens of Portland were found, and the owner stepped up to claim them.
The chickens were found running around at Waterfront Park Thursday, and they’re being held at the Multnomah County Animal Services.
Bruce Whitman was able to prove the chickens were his, and the chicks went home with him.
He said he used beet juice, food coloring and Kool-Aid to dye the chickens and he released them on the South Waterfront to “make people smile.” He paid the fee to the county for housing his birds.
