I've been wanting to start this for a LONG LONG time and am finally getting to it!
Ever since I started raising backyard chickens I've noticed more frequently how often chickens are in movies as props or background elements & scenery. I've wondered if others notice this to?!?
So, here's what we're gonna do... let's create a super long thread of all the movies with chickens in them! While I'm mostly interested in live-action movies, especially ones you wouldn't expect to see a chicken and would be surprised to learn one is there, it will be fun to list all the movies we can think of!
Here is what I propose, reply to this thread with the following:
Movie Title:
Time: (the hour & minute within the movie where you see a chicken)
Scene: (some details about the scene where you saw the chicken... maybe what the chickens were doing)
Breed: (if you want, try to guess which breed you saw)
Here, I'll go first:
Movie Title: The Social Network
Time: 75:09
Scene: After discussing the "animal cruelty" incident, Edwardo has just learned that Mark is moving to Palo Alto. Edwardo walks over to sit on the couch and the chicken he's been taking care of is in a small cage on the coffee table! You hear the chicken in the background before the time above, but you first see it around that time.
Breed: Looks like a while leghorn hen to me!
