BTW, that looks to me to be a rooster. Place that in your front yard and watch it get painted quickly with graffiti. 
May we all have safe travels.

We got a pretty good sized one here in Georgia, down in Marietta. In fact most directions in Marietta start at the Big Chicken. Sort of a "famous" landmark in the metro Atlanta area.

Ask a store owner who was the equipment supplier when they built the building. Chances are either the equipment company supplied it or the Contractor built it. I have seen similar stuff when working with some equipment companies. If it is a franchise they might license the rights out to an equipment supplier but only allow them to sell to store owners. If you really want one try to find a store that is closing or being remodeled. Lots of times companies will be changing their image and the old oddities get trashed. Good luch moving it.

Unfortunately the Big Chicken store in Yellow Snow went broke, so they auctioned off the excess inventory to the the Big Chicken Statue store in Elk Snout, BC.

It is different from the one that was there years ago. Original got in bad shape and they were about to tear it down. Folks in Marietta (pronounced "May-retta"  ) got all upset and this is the result of the compromise.
I guess you also remember Mitch Werbell and Brigade Quartermasters?
