Hitch hiking chicken!

[SkyeAus]

Hi all! Had a bit of a situation this morning.
My fiancé works 60kms east from our property. He rang me half hour after he left this morning. " One of your chickens is here!!
My dear old 3 and a half year old hen had clung on under his ute for 60km! Mostly rough dirt road

Betty is fine, missinga couple of feathers but other then that A okay! Miracle chicken!

Wow, I'm glad betty is ok. I have read about similar stories about a chicken hitching a ride a couple of times on the forum. I had to look up what an ute is. I thought an ute might be part of a vehicle but it is a type of vehicle. I learned something new.

Good thing she is okay! What a silly girl!

I am so amazed that she didn't succumb to shock.
When I got her down put her with the flock, and she went off on her merry way lol.

I hope she got a stern lecture about hitch hiking and it's dangers.

Tell her next time to take a bus

At least she didn't get a ride with strangers! I'm glad she was ok. Maybe the next time she wants to see the world, she should just hop a ride on the inside of the vehicle! (And remind her to always wear a seat belt.)
