After not being able to find where the cockerel had come from, Jessica decided to rescue the lost animal and bring him home before eventually rehoming him.
Jessica, of Aston-on-Trent, said: "I was trying to nudge it out of the car and then the next thing I know he's sitting on the passenger seat. I was thinking OK, well it looks like I now have a chicken. It was really hard to give him away actually because he was really nice. A lovely little bird."
