Miami Herald reports:

Residents of Key West, Florida, aren’t just taking steps to protect themselves from Hurricane Irma — they’re watching out for the town’s ‘gypsy chickens’ as well, a photo shows.

That effort is documented in a now-viral Facebook photo, which appears to show about ten chickens wrapped up in newspapers.

“CHICKEN EVACUATION,” the post from Key West Finest reads. “Gotta love the people in Key West! Thank you to Local Selfie Celeb Jayesh Mani for doing what the rest of us only wished for! #onlyinkeywest”

The ‘gypsy chickens’ of Key West are known to roam about the streets freely, according to Insider.

“Ummmm, I don’t think those chicken burritos are cooked enough….. Just sayin’…. LOL!,” wrote Samantha GR. “JK, I love the Key West Chickens! Glad they’ll be safe!”

Some commenters voiced concerns about the way the chickens were wrapped, wondering if there was a more humane way to transport them to safety.
