A Minnesota Town Has a Public Works Chicken

We've heard plenty of stories about offices, stores, and other work places that adopted a cat or a dog, but this tale is a bit more offbeat. A hen wandered into the Public Works department in Truman, Minnesota, about a year ago, and never left! Employees said she was pretty bedraggled, and they suspect she had been chased there by a dog. But no one in the area seems to have lost a chicken, or at least they didn't claim her. That's understandable. I asked a friend how many chickens she had, and she couldn't say because they won't stand still long enough to be counted. 

Anyway, this chicken decided that the city facility was now her home, and they named her Noodles. She is well loved and fed. Noodles spends her days supervising the staff from a high perch and her nights laying eggs for the utility workers, and they couldn't be happier about it.
