A Telford householder is appealing for help because a cheeky chicken has taken up residence in her garden and refuses to leave. Julie Gower said the errant hen turned up around a month ago, and despite her best efforts to capture it, it has evaded her attempts and has made its home in the bushes of her garden near Grange Avenue in Stirchley. She said she believed it had escaped from a nearby small holding, but says she fears it could get hit by traffic if it is not rehoused.

"It can fly, so its wings are not clipped and I did try to catch it but I nearly got myself run over," Mrs Gower said. "It is costing me a fortune in feed it but I can't let it starve. I've asked local smallholdings if it is there's but nobody has come forward.""I want to reach out to anybody with a small holding who can take her in. It will need somebody with a net to catch it - she's very quick, but she needs to be taken to a nice rural location where she is out of the way
