Flannery's Chicken
"When I was six I had a chicken that walked backwards and was in the Pathé News. I was in it too with the chicken. I was just there to assist the chicken but it was the high point in my life. Everything since has been anticlimax."

That's a hilarious video! I'm intrigued because just last week, we visited Flannery O'Connor's childhood home in Savannah, GA. It's a historical site now. But no chickens that I could see! Cheers!
Thank you so much for posting this - it was the most wonderful thing I have see in ages!
I am impressed by the artistic photograph.
