British schoolboy reunited with pet chicken thanks to US Twitter user
When Tom Cowley lost his beloved pet chicken he was offered help from as far away as America. But as the age-old joke would have it, the wandering fowl was found much closer to home – after she merely ‘crossed the road’.
Animal lover Tom was devastated after Ginger escaped from his back garden. He feared he would never see the Gingernut Ranger hen again, but he hadn’t counted on Twitter.
After a frantic two-day search, the 11-year-old’s mom Louise logged on to share her distress and a US follower retweeted her post.
This was seen by Catherine Inglis, the founder of PetsLocated.com, who then contacted Louise to spread the word about missing Ginger.
In a stroke of luck, one of their posters was spotted by Emma Maloret, from Tiny Horizons nursery, who recognised the hen straight away as it was cosied up on the nursery farm.
Tiny Horizons is on the opposite side of the busy A43, where Tom lives, in Moulton, Northampton.
This meant that brave Ginger had merely walked across the road.Louise, who runs a bakery business, said: ‘It was amazing. We did look for Ginger and asked neighbours but we’d given up.
‘It’s hilarious, really. We’re delighted to have her back.’
Tom, who also has a gecko, three fish and a dog, added: ‘Ginger has been my pet chicken for two years and when I lost her last week I couldn’t believe it.
‘How she crossed such a busy a road and survived I’ll never know.’
