Pet chicken surfs on flooded street in West Virginia after storm
Shelly, a pet chicken in Tornado, West Virginia, was spotted on a boogie board while she surfed a flooded street.
You might have heard about a chicken crossing the road.
But what about surfing?
A family pet chicken in West Virginia was caught on video catching a gentle wave on Tuesday, July 12, after a passing storm left flooded streets.
The chicken, Shelly, was placed on a boogie board by her owner, Peyton Rogers, who is a resident of Tornado, West Virginia.

Koerber told Storyful that her husband is the one who suggested Shelly should take a boogie board ride after the kids in the neighborhood realized the water wasn’t deep enough for them to participate.
Koerber said the bird initially looked shocked — but then "seemed to enjoy it."
