The Hollywood Freeway chickens are a colony of feral chickens that live under the Vineland Avenue off-ramp of the Hollywood Freeway (U.S. Route 101) in Los Angeles, California. It is not definitively known how they came to be there, although news stories generally ascribe them to an overturned poultry truck. The first colony at the Vineland ramp has spread and there is now a second colony at the Burbank ramp, two miles away. The survival of the chicken colony and their spreading to another freeway ramp has inspired a short story by Terry Pratchett, "Hollywood Chickens".

| - Els pollastres de l'autopista de Hollywood són una colònia de pollastres silvestres que viuen sota la rampa de sortida de l'autopista de Hollywood (U.S. Route 101) de l'Avinguda Vineland a Los Angeles, a Califòrnia. No se sap del cert com van arribar fins allà, tot i que les notícies generalment els adscriuen a un camió d'aus que va volcar. Els pollastres de sota la rampa de Vineland es van fer populars localment des de la seva arribada allà al voltant de 1970. Cap a l'any 1976, l'estol incloïa al voltant de 50 pollastres, descrits com a vermells de Rhode Island. Se'ls va passar a conèixer com als "pollastres de la Minnie", en referència a Minnie Blumfield, una senyora jubilada que els alimentava regularment. Quan el seu estat de salut li va deixar de permetre alimentar-les, una jove actriu, Jodie Mann, amb el col·lectiu Actors i Altres per als Animals va gestionar la reubicació dels pollastres. Al voltant d'un centenar de les gallines i els galls van ser traslladats a un ranxo de Simi Valley, California. Però no es van traslladar tots els membres de la guarda, i els que es van quedar van engendrar una nova població. Els intents posteriors de reubicar els animals van tenir resultats similars. La colònia original de la rampa de Vineland es va expandir i hi ha ara una segona colònia sota la rampa de Burbank, a uns tres quilòmetres. La supervivència de la colònia de pollastres i la seva expansió a una altra rampa de l'autopista ha inspirat un relat breu de Terry Pratchett, "Hollywood Chickens". (ca)

It is not definitively known how they came to be there, although news stories generally ascribe them to an overturned poultry truck. Chickens underneath the Vineland off-ramp became local celebrities upon their arrival sometime around 1970. By 1976, the flock included about 50 of the chickens, described as Rhode Island Reds. They became known as "Minnie's chickens", named after Minnie Blumfield, an elderly retiree who fed them regularly. When she became too frail to feed them, a young actress, Jodie Mann, with Actors and Others for Animals made arrangements to relocate the chickens. Nearly a hundred of the hens and roosters were relocated to a ranch in Simi Valley, California. But not every member of the flock was apprehended, and those that remained spawned a new population. Subsequent removal efforts in the following years all had a similar outcome. The first colony at the Vineland ramp has spread and there is now a second colony at the Burbank ramp, two miles away. The survival of the chicken colony and their spreading to another freeway ramp has inspired a short story by Terry Pratchett, "Hollywood Chickens". (en)
