PHARMACY employees were forced to pluck up the courage to take on a particularly disgruntled chicken in Kentucky over the weekend.
The origins of the nefarious fowl are still to be determined, but reports suggest the bird terrorised patrons of the CVS pharmacy in Elizabethtown with incessant clucking and flapping, ultimately forcing the store owners to call 911 for back up.
"Responding officers were pecked viciously by the uncooperative fowl fiend, and he made some adept use of vehicles for cover," the Elizabethtown Police Department said in a statement.
"Some quick thinking, unflappable bravery, and some MacGyver-like ingenuity involving a milk crate led to the swift apprehension of the peevish poultry."
The maximum jail sentence for a chicken in Kentucky is three years in a free-range farm, but charges are yet to be laid.
However, given this incident took place in Kentucky, it has led some to speculate the punishment for this daring pharmacy raid could involve 11 secret herbs and spices.
