Why did this chicken cross the road?

Trucker's chicken run

A lorry driver made a 100-mile trip with a live chicken under his bonnet.

The trucker only heard the hen clucking when he arrived at an Asda depot near Chepstow, Monmouthshire.

The bird, now nicknamed Paxo, had been sitting on his engine since he left Staffordshire, reports the Daily Mirror.

Transport clerk Alex Viljoen said: "The driver was afraid to pick the bird up. She was a bit warm and there was oil on her feathers, but she seemed quite happy."

Paxo was taken to vet Caroline Marlow and given a clean bill of health - then laid an egg. Caroline plans to keep her but change her name to Sally.

She said: "We think she was copying Chicken Run and trying to escape."

To get to Chepstow, Monmouthshire, of course!

Nah... she was full of oil or grease because Richard and the Edster were chasing her around and wanted to have fried chicken that night for dinner. "C'mon chicken.... we've got fresh oranges from the neighbor's.. yummmmy!! Think of it Ed! Chicken in orange sauce!" Chicken then proceeds to realize that Ed the cat isn't a friend and decides to skeddadle outta there while he can. :p

Didn't realize there'd be a story along with this title. LOL I thought it was a joke thread.

And since I already had an answer handy....
