Congratulations TLC The Xinhua news agency just announced chicken success after human failure. In the northwestern province of Xinjiang in China they have been conducting a war on locusts. Xinhua reported that attacks by humans and aircraft failed to eradicate the swarms of hungry locusts which had infested grasslands, housing complexes and offices. As a result, a program was developed for training an army of 10,000 chickens backed by their own air force of tens of thousands of starlings. The chickens undergo a special 60-day training beginning shortly after birth. Details of the training regimen have not been released. But it was acknowledged that this new force has been much more successful then was the previous one.
