WESTFORD, MASS. (WHDH) - A chicken who literally flew the coop hitched a ride on a dump truck in Westford, police said.

Photos shared on the Westford Police Department’s Facebook page show the chicken perched on a truck next to a construction site.

“This chicken hitched a ride with a dump truck working one of the construction projects in town and now needs a home,” the department said in the post.

The curious bird has since been reunited with its owner.
