Why did the chicken cross the road?

In California, at least, apparently because the chicken didn't know that jaywalking is illegal.

The state that gave us the Governator is now forging new jurisprudential precedent: issuing citations to chickens for impeding traffic. Trial is scheduled for May 16, although apparently the owners will be the ones to appear in court.

I'm not entirely sure how chickens impede traffic: don't you just drive around - or, more efficiently, through - them? (Making sure you don't suck one into your jet engine, of course.)
