‘Nervous’ chicken stopped at Pentagon checkpoint
New York Daily News ^ | February 3, 2022 | Brian Niemietz

Playing chicken with United States Department of Defense isn’t a good idea, but that’s what the Animal Welfare League of Arlington said Henny Penny did. And the Rhode Island Red hen lived to tell.

“Apparently, the answer to ‘why did the chicken cross the road’ is to get to the Pentagon?!” the AWLA wrote on its Twitter feed. “This chicken was caught sneaking around the security area at the Pentagon (we’re not kidding) and our officers picked her up.”

The Virginia-based animal advocacy group opened the floor to the public to choose a name for the bird. The winning name was Henny Penny, which was inspired by the folk tale character who believes the sky is falling.

It’s unclear where the hen came from or how she found her way to the Pentagon. A spokesperson for the AWLA told The Guardian they couldn’t reveal specifically where Henny Penny was detained, other than saying she’d reached a “security checkpoint.”

Henny Penny, who is described as “sweet” and “nervous,” will reportedly be relocated to a small farm in western Virginia owned by an AWLA staffer. The website Chickens and More says Rhode Island Red hens typically live more than eight years and have “bags of character, personality and a real zest for life.”

Henny Penny is a sovereign citizen and does not recognize your so-called “security checkpoint”.

More likely the chicken was disoriented due to Climate Change.
