A CHICKEN has been stuck in a drain for several hours as firefighters struggle to free it.

At 1.48pm Gloucestershire Fire and Rescue Service was called by the RSPCA to a chicken stuck in a drain in the Westbury-on-Severn area.

A crew of six firefighters from Cinderford, along with an officer from the fire service's headquarters, appear to be struggling with the case as they are reported to still be at the scene trying to free the bird.
