Officials with the Animal Rescue League (ARL) in Iowa answered an emergency call about a live chicken that was seen in the front door of a Buffalo Wild Wings restaurant in Des Moines Iowa on Monday June 16. The ARL officials managed to catch the live chicken safely. The ARL officers made the joke that the live chicken they caught at the restaurant on Southeast 14th street is not available to be adopted.

Good save! At least the chicken will surely not be cooked.

I'm glad that chicken got away before one of the cooks scooped him up. Haha?

It was a good job it was not outside KFC. I wonder if it was looking for his brothers & sisters.

Perhaps it wanted to see if Buffalo Wings were different to its own wings.

It was probably protesting the sale of wings.
