WASHINGTON (AP) — A wandering chicken was caught sneaking around a security area at the Pentagon, a local animal welfare organization said.

The loose hen was found Monday near the U.S. Department of Defense headquarters, the Animal Welfare League of Arlington wrote in a tweet. ... “Apparently, the answer to ‘why did the chicken cross the road’ is to get to the Pentagon,” the group posted. ... The chicken was taken into custody by one of the welfare league’s staff members.

Chelsea Jones, a spokesperson for the organization, told The Washington Post in an email that she couldn’t reveal precisely where the bird was spotted.

“For actual security reasons we are not allowed to disclose the exact location,” Jones said.
