Monique the traveling chicken sails around the world on a sailboat with her best friend, because life is short and why not?
When it comes to pets, chickens aren’t normally on the top of the list of ‘best pets’. In fact, when I think of chickens, my thoughts are pulled towards visions of original recipe KFC. Guirec Soudee disagrees with me though, and is sailing around the world with his pet chicken, a sassy broad named Monique.

When Soudee was 18, he left France to take a sailing trip around the world. He met his pet and traveling chicken, beautiful red-headed Monique, on the Canary Islands and brought her with him in hopes that she would lay eggs for him to eat. He was told that a hen would never lay eggs at sea, but Monique actually proved to be much more useful, even catching flying fish that landed on their boat. Since their meeting, Monique and Guirec have traveled the globe, and are currently on the west coast of Greenland until the middle of July. They then plan to cross the Arctic Ocean to join the Pacific through the North West Passage.
