"Very early this morning, this chicken was caught sneaking around the security area at the Pentagon (we're not kidding) and our officers were called to come pick her up," read the post on Facebook.

The facility added that Sgt. Ballena took the unclaimed chicken safely to the shelter where she will stay until they find a new home for her.

It remains unclear whether she was simply lost, trying to get to the other side of the street, or sent on an espionage mission.

Suggest a name

As a concluding statement, the society asked members of the public to suggest a name for the chicken, something netizens had a field day with.

Katrin Boneau:

"I think she should be called Ethel, for Ethel Rosenberg, the most infamous Russian spy ever."

Áine Elisheva:

Penny (Pentagon) of course! Full name HennyPenny."

Pentagon is one of the world's most guarded buildings

Elsewhere, Briefly News previously reported that the Pentagon is not only an iconic symbol of the United States’ defence program but is also one of the world's most highly guarded structures.

Located in Washington D.C., the Pentagon is secured by the Pentagon Force Protection Agency, with high-level measures put in place to keep it safe from biological, chemical, radiological, and nuclear attacks.

Top-notch security screening is compulsory for everyone seeking access to the building, with photography prohibited as a measure to ensure confidentiality.

In 2001, the Pentagon was one of the targets in the infamous September 11 terrorist attacks by al-Qaeda when five hijackers crashed an American Airlines Flight 77 into the building.
