She has a plan for that
chicken!
A kind-hearted Park
Sloper rescued a wayward
rooster she discovered strutting
along Union Street on
Thursday, before sending her
to live on a farm in Vermont
— but not before she named
the bird Elizabeth Warr-hen!
Molly Sandley found the
chicken — which is male, despite
being named after the
female presidential candidate
— between Sixth and Seventh
avenues at 6 pm, trying roost
atop of an eight-foot infl atable
Santa Claus, according to a
Gothamist report.
Sandley scooped up the left
winger and took him home —
where she provided it with
safe haven in her bathroom,
she told the Brooklyn Paper.
“He was cold and very hungry,
but basically healthy,”
she said.

overnight, and got to
work trying to fi nd his owners
the next day by posting
signs around the neighborhood
and in online social media
groups.
The search for the chicken
quickly began to spread —
even leading to an announcement
over the intercom at the
Park Slope Food Co-op, said
Sandley.
“The guy at the front
desk got on the intercom
and announced, ‘If anyone
lost a live rooster on Union
Street last night, email
heythatsmychicken@gmail.
com,'” Sandley wrote in a Facebook
post.
But despite Sandley’s best
efforts, no owners came forward
to claim ownership over
Elizabeth Warr-hen.
“We’ve checked craigslist,
all the missing pet boards etc.
and put up signs, but no one
has claimed him,” Sandley
said.
Sandley’s adoption of
Warr-hen came as a relief for
CLUCK!: Park Sloper Molly Sandley found a home for a wandering chicken who she named Elizabeth Warr-hen.

the bird, who’s been spotted
waddling around the borough
for several days.
On Dec. 17, Fort Hamilton
residents uploaded a video of
the same breed of chicken on
the crime-reporting app Citizen
— fi ve and a half miles
away from where Sandley
scooped him up two days
later!
“It’s the same chicken, but
very far away from that location!!
Omg. How did he get so
far?” Sandley wrote about the
Fort Hamilton rooster.
Because of the bird’s long
time on the lam, Sandley decided
to give up on trying to
fi nd his owner, and gifted him
to a friend who lives in Vermont.
“Since he’s apparently been
out on the streets of Brooklyn
for at least three days and he
can’t get re-homed to any of
the local community gardens
since roosters aren’t legal in
the city, a friend in Vermont
has agreed to take him,” she
said.
Hopefully, Elizabeth Warrhen’s
new owner will have
the good sense to rename the
Brooklyn bird turned Vermonter
“Birdie Sanders”
upon his arrival to the Green
Mountain State.
Representatives of Senator
Elizabeth Warren’s presidential
campaign did not respond
to requests for comment.
