There is zero chance there weren't chickens in the street. There are chickens in the street now. They are just too useful and easy an animal.

Yeah, I live in a major U.S. city and there's chickens roaming the streets of my neighborhood regularly.

The section on pigs and chickens in the streets starts doesnt claim no chickens were allowed to roam around. Just that most of them were kept contained because they were valuable to the owner. I guess something better phrased wouldn't have fitted on the card.
