Chicken crackdown in Newburgh!

Joyce Kyles knocks on the door of the house, and a woman answers.

"Good morning, hi," says Kyles, of Newburgh Animal Control. "We hear you have chickens."

The woman denies it but grants permission for a search of her backyard. Kyles is joined on this mission by Melissa Veraldo of Blooming Grove Humane Society and Deputy Gina Sangricoli, an animal cruelty investigator for the Orange County Sheriff's Office. Together, the three have begun a route across Newburgh in search of chickens. It's against city law to keep chickens, and the women have a list of a dozen addresses where they suspect people are harboring illegal birds.
