This all happened when the tractor-trailer flipped over on the BQE on an eastbound exit ramp. And when it did, the chickens inside, they came out.
One worker cleaning up the mess, estimated about 500 chickens on the truck, and eventually on walking around the expressway.
The tractor-trailer was towed just before 5 o'clock this morning and crews were able to reopen all the lanes.
But, other than a few chicken feathers, the BQE is back to normal.
