Runaway hen raises a laugh

Captured… the runaway hen in Deakin.
ANYONE missing an Isa Brown hen in Deakin on Easter Saturday needs to contact the RSPCA (6287 8100) after the chook was chased without success down Le Hunte Street by three men (a fourth stood by laughing).

Two women joined the pursuit and after a few simple pincer-movement strategies, the chook ran under a car and was caught, but not before half the street was out for a sticky beak!

The hen was delivered to the RSPCA, where it awaits collection.
