A 12-year-old British boy attempted to admit his pet chicken to a hospital in Addis Ababa, sources confirm. The boy, whose family is on holiday in Ethiopia, allegedly presented the chicken at the emergency reception of a private clinic. Staff reportedly played along for nearly 20 minutes before gently explaining the facility does not treat poultry.
The incident, caught on CCTV, has gone viral. Uncovered documents show the chicken was treated for a respiratory infection by a local vet later that day. The boy's father said his son 'genuinely thought the hospital could help.
' The clinic director praised the staff's patience. No charges were filed.
