KJJP-FM 105.7 is currently operating at very reduced power and signal range using a back-up transmitter. This is because of complicated problems with its very old primary transmitter. Local engineers are currently working on that transmitter and consulting with the manufacturer to diagnose and fix the problems. We apologize for this disruption and service as we work as quickly as possible to restore KJPFM to full power. In the mean time you can always stream either the HPPR mix service or HPPR connect service using the player above or the HPPR app.

'Flockstars' Are Available To Play Weddings, Other Gatherings

RACHEL MARTIN, HOST:

Good morning. I'm Rachel Martin. Still don't have any entertainment lined up for your holiday party this weekend? Well, a Maryland chicken farmer gave his fowl some musical instruments. And they really took to them. A video on YouTube shows three chickens pecking away at a xylophone, a keyboard and some drums. The newly minted band is called the Flockstars. And the owner says they'll play weddings, bar mitzvahs. And surprisingly, as it may seem, they still have some openings for New Year's Eve parties. It's MORNING EDITION.
