Spiteful Man Pranks Ex-Girlfriend by Sending 15 Baby Chicks

A D.C. woman was on the receiving end of a very strange prank.

As a mail carrier made his rounds delivering the daily postal, an unexpected package was among the envelopes.

A man sent his ex-girlfriend a package with 15 baby chicks inside. The chicks were accompanied with a note saying something to the effect of, “There are lots of other chicks out there.”

What ever happened to posting angry Facebook statuses like a lot of exes do?

According to the Poplar Spring Animal Sanctuary Facebook, when the woman received the package she told the mail carrier that she was going to throw them in the garbage. He took the chicks to the Washington Humane Society which then brought them to the Poplar Spring Animal Sanctuary in Poolesville, MD.

One of the chicks is suffering from an injured leg but it recovering. Poplar Spring will keep the chicks except for six that will be going to The Peaceful Fields Sanctuary.
