A POSTMAN has taken hold of a special delivery after finding a chicken on the run in Stroud.

Lee Pegler, 42, had just finished his round on Folly Lane when he found the bird roaming around near the Springfield Road junction on Friday afternoon.

"I picked her up because I assumed she had escaped," said Mr Pegler, who has worked as a postman for 13 years.

"I have put up a notice in Folly Lane Stores, contacted the RSPCA and knocked door-to-door in the area but no one has claimed her."


The chicken, which is black with brown mottled feathers around the neck, is currently being kept in a rabbit run at Mr Pegler's home in Slad Road where he lives with his wife and three children.

"She is a very happy and healthy little thing and has laid three eggs over the weekend," said Mr Pegler.

"She is very tame and it will be a shame to see her go as we have all grown quite attached to her.

"But she needs to live a proper life and she can't spend it in this little rabbit run so we would like to reunite her with her owner."

How do you prove it's yours?
If someone turned up with some carrots,onions and a bottle of red wine I would be deeply suspicious.
