Oct 29, 2018 | 2:40 PM

A day after Betty the Chicken was up for adoption at the Grande Prairie Regional Animal Care Facility, she has found a new home. 

Through Facebook, the facility says Betty is “joining a family of chickens, ducks, geese, and rabbits. We did find out she is a Australorp and approximately 1 1/2 years old.”

She was found running at large in the city, in the industrial park area, when she was caught.

In a Facebook post on Monday, the facility said the age and breed of Betty were unknown.
