The chicken lost 23 * 2 = <<23*2=46>>46 feathers on its second road crossing.

The chicken crossed the road to get to the other side twice for the thrill of it. The first time, it had to dodge 23 speeding cars. The second time, a person tried to catch it and accidentally pulled out twice as many feathers as the number of cars the chicken had dodged. The chicken had 5263 feathers before its thrill-seeking road crossings. How many feathers did it have afterward?
