A rogue chicken has been taken into custody by The Animal Welfare League of Arlington (AWLA), Virginia, after it was found running loose near the US Department of Defence headquarters.
The hen was discovered early one Monday morning, at a Pentagon security check point, although her exact location cannot be disclosed, according to AWLA spokesperson Chelsea Jones.
How the hen arrived at the headquarters remains unclear, and where she came from is still unknown.
Chelsea said that the bird is ‘sweet’ but ‘nervous,’ although she is now allowing some people to pet her.
