NEW YORK, Feb. 9 (UPI) -- Residents of a New York neighborhood said a flock of about a dozen chickens has descended on the area.

Locals said chickens, which first started spreading after a lot they were being kept in closed down three years ago, can now be seen lining the streets and roosting in locations including the Sanitation Department facility near their old home and underneath a Wendy's sign advertising "Spicy Chicken Nuggets," the New York Daily News reported Monday.

"They're all over the place," said Tommy Surdak of Fort Washington Auto Body Shop.

Many locals told the Daily News they enjoy their fowl neighbors.

"They're very friendly," said Surdak's wife, Judy.
