Single hen

[Tina C]

Did anyone see the chicken that was put on stage during the 'Top Gear' part of Comic Relief? I just happened to flick over from the news and thought aaaah, look, chickens get everywhere. Then I thought, oh poor thing.

 

It did not seem too worried, but it must have been noisy, as a band was playing and I think it was put in front of the amp.

 

I think it got removed before they turned a wind machine thing on to the band. At least I hope it did.

I saw the poor thing - it looked very startled.

 

I wonder if they received complaints?

[Tina C]

I was wondering if I should complain or if I was being too sensitive as a soppy chicken owner?

[Lesley]

Same here Tina - and you might have got Clarkson at the end of the line! - scary

[Helly Welly]

I ended up taking no notice of the performance at all as i was so worried about the chicken

 

The poor thing must have at least had tinnitus

Top Gear and Chickens, I like both and thought the chicken might be scared.

[Mrs Frugal]

I saw that too and was worried about the hen - so was Ollie. Hammy's a chicken keeper so I'm sure he made sure it was removed before he put the wind machine on .

[Martin B]

If I wasn't such a Top Gear fan then I think I would have kicked off and complained...

 

Exactly the way I feel!

I was just as concerned as all of you - but decided to give them the benefit of the doubt. We only saw the hen for a little while. Both Clarkson and Hammond keep hens themselves, so I'm sure neither would have abused the poor young thing. I hope I'm right!

I didn't think it looked distressed, more confused, and I'm guessing was only there for a very short time. I was a bit confused as there was no explanation while I was watching.

Maybe it was Hammond, or Clarkson's hen?

 

I hope it was removed before Clarkson played the drums

im glad I wasnt the only one who spotted this !

 

The chicken did look a bit like "mmm, where am I..? are these people crazy" look on its face.
