The Chicken That Crossed The Road Went To The US To Sell Eggs For Triple The Price

LA FRONTERA – The mystery as to why the chicken crossed the road was finally solved once and for all today here at the Texas-Mexico border where a chicken was seen selling its own eggs from a food truck — quite successfully.

With egg prices in the US skyrocketing, having increased over 60% in just a year, it’s needless to say that this chicken has come to roost. Witnesses reported seeing this one particular chicken cross the border into the US where it soon set up shop in a food truck on the side of the road, selling its own eggs one by one, carton by carton, and even pallet by pallet. The line was long, as people anxiously waited to buy already overpriced eggs before its prices spike again.

This evening, Border Patrol agents were approached by a distraught farmer, who kept yelling and pointing, “That is my chicken!” The farmer told reporters that the chicken had left his farm a week prior, having decided to go into business for itself because it was the best egg-laying chicken on his farm, and knew it would make a fortune on the other side.

By press time, the chicken that crossed the road had already expanded its business, having recruited at least 10 other chickens to lay eggs and meet the demand of its rapidly expanding customer base. It was reported that they would also be developing plans to build a brick-and-mortar location inside the city, with construction starting as early as next week.
