Why did the chicken cross the road?

Answer 1

To prove to the raccoons that it COULD be done.

Answer 2

The first chickens intentionally sent across the road were Rhode Island Reds which were sent along with corn seeds aboard a U.S.-launched V2 rocket in mid July, 1946. The purpose of the experiment was to explore the effects of crossing the road at high altitudes. Some further V2 missions carried hedgehogs, but, the results were all very flat.

A chicken named Albertina became the first chicken to successsfully cross the road on June 14, 1949 (after the failure of her husband, Albert's, mission). But, shortly after reaching the other side of the road, Albertine died when the parachute she was wearing suddenly opened and strangled her. (There is a memorial dedicated to her at NASA)

Numerous other attempts to cross the road were then made by chickens in the 1950s and 60s. These chickens were implanted with sensors to measure vital signs and many were under anesthesia during the attempted crossing.

But, outrage at the treatment of these chickens lead to the closure of the programme in 1974. This is why we still do not have a definitive answer to this question.
