If you don’t love these sayings, please find the eggs-it.
It wasn’t a peck-nic for Ontario Provincial Police (OPP) and officers in Burlington on Monday, who were forced to close a portion of the QEW to rescue 2,400 chicks off a highway in Beamsville, Ont.
“Why did 2,400 chickens try to cross the road? Because the driver forgot to close the door,” OPP tweeted.

It took a few hours for volunteers to gather all the yellow baby chicks from the grassy area where they landed after flying out of the back of a truck near Ontario Street.
Fortunately, it didn’t hen-der traffic for too long, and none of the yellow chicks were hurt.
Can you hand me a hen-kerchief? This writer is getting teary-eyed.
