In a Facebook post, Tayside Police explained that they found the chicken around 8:30 a.m. in East Marketgait, "trying to cross the road and giving passing motorists cause for concern." So they chased her down and called the SSPCA, who are caring for her until she can be returned home.

"Police are appealing for any information as to why the chicken was crossing the road," Tayside Police asked at the end of their post. Are you "out of town?" Do you "give it up?" She was trying to get away from us.
