But the chicken did face some struggles. When the green man light was blinking, it still had not made it across.

As if it knew the traffic rules, the chicken started sprinting to the other end of the road when the pedestrian light turned red.

Some curious pedestrians even turned back to look at the chicken, hoping it made it across safely.

Fortunately, the chicken eventually made it to the other side safe and sound and was seen happily hopping about.
