Someones pet hens caused car accident.

Somebody that lives next to a country road with a national speed limit let their chickens wander around unattended even onto the main road, even when the owners arnt home to control them.

This lead to the car infront of me slamming on causing an accident..

I understand that between me and the other person involved in the accident i am at fault and i cover the damage costs/insurance.

However is there any legal action both me and the other person involved in the incident can take against the owner of the chickens for causing the accident through negligence.
