Hunt for owner of chicken who flew the coop

The Scottish SPCA was alerted after the bird was spotted straying at Lion Bank in Kirkintilloch at the weekend.

Welfare officers said the chicken had a telephone cable attached to its legs when it was found.

It is being cared for at the charity’s centre in Lanarkshire.

An SSPCA spokesperson said: “We want to reunite it with its owners – please help by sharing on Facebook.

“If it belongs to you please call our animal helpline on 03000 999 999.”
