Apparently there is a flock of free-range chickens on a residential street in El Centro.

Police and animal control officers have been trying to trap chickens in the 1200 block of Pepper Court. El Centro Dispatch Center has received reports of as many as 5 of the roaming fowl for the past few days. Animal Control has set traps for the birds but so far none have been caught. Investigating officers patrolling the area have not seen any coops in neighboring yards.
