The big chicken. Something that is featured in the "weird Georgia" book. It was built in the 1960s' by the owner, and is a great drive by "we saw that" thing to see.

What is it? Why, it's a giant chicken, 56 feet tall, built in front of a KFC in Marietta.

Why is it there? I have no idea.

Anything special? It's a giant chicken, that moves! On the side of the road, and you can also get lunch.
