For a few, that's a pet. For starters 24-year-old Frenchman, Guirec Soudée, which is a chicken.

Yep, a chicken. A hen, to be particular, named Monique. And she actually is quite the fine-feathered friend.

Monique has not been, well, chicken about new adventures.

On a-wing and a prayer, the pair tripped to ocean. He picked her because a) he desired some organization and b) he can use the eggs. (Unstated ended up being that if things got desperate, he would have another way to obtain necessary protein up to speed besides.)

He wasn't certain at first whether she'd travel really.

"in the beginning, I was worried sick, " he stated. "there is huge waves and she might stumble, it would seek out another like she might overload, but she'd constantly regain the woman footing. She actually is extremely brave."
