Don’t count your 🐥🐓 before they hatch! Lieutenant Hellmer and your 104 NCO’s held a joint operation with @ASPCA and @NYCACC to demolish a make-shift chicken coop that held captive birds in deplorable conditions. Thanks to their work, the 🐓🐥 are now safe and sound! @NYPDnews pic.twitter.com/RbzobKJFkV

They were living in deplorable conditions.
It's unclear who left them there.
