The driver -- whose identity was not immediately reported -- was being treated for minor injuries Thursday while employees of the truck's owner, BC Natural Chicken, chased down loose chickens in Brecknock Township, WGAL-TV, Lancaster, reported.

The driver was hauling 6,000 chickens when his rig overturned.

"The truck tractor, as it entered a pretty sharp turn … the operator lost control," Trooper Phillip Matson told the TV station.
