GLEN BURNIE, Md. (Map, News) - Anne Arundel County police are trying to determine who owns the 18 chickens found in a homeowner's yard in Glen Burnie.

The woman living in the 1600 block of Lorimer Road told police last week the chickens did not belong to her and she wanted them removed from her year.

Police say they spoke with neighbors but could not find the owner of the birds.

If they aren't claimed by Thursday, the chickens will be moved from the county police animal control unit to Cheryl's Rescue Ranch in Harwood, which has offered to take them.
