Chickens 'left to die' in box near Carlow Town saved by heroic man

A heroic man in Carlow saved a crate of distressed chickens that were abandoned on the outskirts of Carlow Town.
The man said in a post of Facebook, "Four chucks were abandoned on the outskirts of Carlow town....
"Left in a box Sunday evening to die at an old man’s doorstep. Shameful behaviour....only three now.....there was three hens and one cock.
"Hen broke out on the poor man and was unable to be caught by him. She might be caught yet. Very healthy and good condition birds.
"Will live a nice life with me. There’s other options than abandon. Especially hens like come on! Another man’s trash is another man’s treasure!".
