In “random stuff that happened for some reason,” an unidentified man brought two chickens onto a train in Sydney, Australia, set them down and then ran away. Why? No one has a damn clue.
Of course everyone was left utterly confused as the chickens did what chickens do: they pecked at the ankles of the baffled passengers — that is until two people finally picked them up. And all of this happened during the early morning commute, so the train was packed.
Good morning! As at 07:30, services on or close to time. Here’s a song in honour of our special visitors last night https://t.co/WaG6YFpiZV pic.twitter.com/BpUe27LPXO

The chickens, named Betty and Mumbles, were handed over to station staff until they could be returned to their original owner at Botany Day Care — it seems like these chickens were stolen from the original owner and then dumped on a train. Perhaps this was a prank, or perhaps the dude who stole them realized he wanted to become a vegan, so he set them free.
We may never know why.
