Looks like everything in the chicken coop isn't rosy

Fans vented frustrations against the Indian poultry producers during Sunday’s defeat against Stoke City at Ewood Park. The chickens, one of which was dressed with a Blackburn scarf, were let loose prior to the game, during which fans chanted “Venky’s Out” and sang the name of the club’s late benefactor, Jack Walker.
Another chicken was confiscated prior to the game having been found by a turnstile operator, while Lancashire Police confirmed that two chickens were detained in a police cell at the ground.
A Lancashire Police spokesperson said: “A cockerel and a hen were released in the concourse in the Darwen End Stand. The chickens were then put in a police cell until they were collected after the game.”
With fan anger rising towards Venky’s following the sacking of Sam Allardyce last month and rumours of transfer targets being influenced by Kentaro, the group who advised Venky’s during the takeover process, fans also attempted to stage a sit-in at the end of the Stoke game. Rovers chairman John Williams was confronted by a small group of supporters.
Having replaced Allardyce with unproven first-team coach Kean, Venky’s has seen Blackburn pick up just a point from two home games.

Mind you in fairness to Rovers fans they are letting the powers that be know how they feel
