A very bold and very lost chicken was “caught sneaking around the security area at the Pentagon” early Monday morning.
The adventurous bird was nabbed by Arlington animal control officers, who were called in to help the headquarters of the world’s most powerful military with its poultry problem.
More on what happened from the Animal Welfare League of Arlington:
Apparently, the answer to “why did the chicken cross the road” is…. to get to the Pentagon?! Very early this morning, this chicken was caught sneaking around the security area at the Pentagon (we’re not kidding) and our officers were called to come pick her up. Sgt Ballena brought her safely to the shelter where she’ll stay until we find a new home for her! Now we need a name for her — suggestions welcomed!
Naturally, plenty of people had thoughts on social media about the military’s most wanted chicken and what it should be named.
I mean, chicken found on the military installation… I suggest Colonel Sanderson

It's probably not a joke that this chicken will prompt Congress to increase Department of Defense spending by $12 billion. https://t.co/W2ndv6p45X
