Chicken Rescued Outside Des Moines Buffalo Wild Wings

A 'confused' hen was rescued from outside a Buffalo Wild Wings restaurant in Des Moines, Iowa, after good Samaritans alerted the Animal Rescue League of Iowa, the state's largest nonprofit animal shelter. The reason for the chicken's presence remains unknown, though the incident drew jokes about the restaurant's reputation for chicken wings. The hen is now safe and being cared for at the shelter, but is not currently available for adoption. The organization highlighted that it has other chickens and barn animals ready for adoption as family pets. The shelter used the event to promote its animal adoption program. All animals adopted from the shelter are placed as family pets.
