Chicken captured near secure Pentagon area – The Washington Post

By Thomas A. Smith

Approaching a Pentagon security post while wearing a coat of feathers and keeping close to the ground seems like the sort of thing that might attract attention.

And that is what happened Monday, according to the Animal Welfare League of Arlington, when a wandering hen was spotted near the closely guarded headquarters of the country s defense establishment.

The chicken was caught sneaking around the security area at the Pentagon, said a tweet from the league, Arlington s animal welfare and humane society.

I recall reading something about the CIA trying to train cats to follow suspected KGB operatives on the streets of DC, or something like that. So the possibility that these chickens have been suborned should not be overlooked.
