Id column is approximate quest № In Tiragarde Sound storyline (A Sound Plan <= for more info)
If you are having trouble either finding chickens standing still or catching those running around, I found a solution that works for me (even with the random lag spikes currently being experienced. If you turn on the quest sparkles the chickens that run in circles leave a trail. Stand in their running path looking straight down, with your mouse over where the sparkles appear and spam your mouse button as the chicken comes around again. Made the quest heaps quicker for me and even when a lag spike hit the spamming seemed to beat it. Hope it helps :)

Description
Do you know what people love? The unexplained! Problem is, everything here is explainable. So I have a plan to create our own phe-gnome-enon. There are stories that talk about some weird chicken-snake hybrids that can turn you to stone. I've already released the chickens, now we just need the snakes. The first problem can be solved easily. Just chase down the chickens, and stick one of these robotic tails on them.
