Why is there a chicken in the office/workspace?

So when my boss's mom broke her leg, one of the owners of the factory gave my boss a "wild" chicken for her mom to eat. A factory owner brought over the chicken, live, and it got loose in the office while staying overnight.

In the morning I was asked to "catch" the chicken. Being the brave soul I am, I obliged. Thankfully the wild chicken was tired from flapping around in the office and I made a quick grab with some yellow plastic gloves.

Only in China and maybe some third world countries do you find live "wild" chickens as beautiful as the one above in the office and apart of working.
