A London-based art collective with ties to the island – called the Anonymous Arts Group – has claimed responsibility for the sign, which they say has been made almost entirely from recycled materials.
It seems the name has been chosen due to the fact that chickens and roosters wander around the area freely.

A Government spokesperson confirmed to Express that only the Parish is responsible for naming roads and putting up signage.
It’s unclear how the parishes will respond to the gag, but, in the meantime, its namesakes seem to be enjoying the new feature with several of the species gathering around the road sign as if to welcome to change.

The new sign also pays homage to the local story of packs of feral chickens wreaking havoc in Jersey’s countryside, causing traffic hazards, damaging property and waking people up in the early hours, which was also reported in the national press last year.
Despite their ‘fowl’ play in Jersey rural areas, the mischievous birds seem to be temporarily appeased by having a road named in their honour.
