Giant chicken.

World's Largest Chicken Under Construction

It will be interesting to see what it looks like when complete. The chicken should have been put somewhere besides the Harvey's parking lot.

Topiary chicken.

Topiary Chicken 62+ Feet Tall

We are constructing a rather large Topiary Chicken in Fitzgerald, Georgia! Steel wire construction -- and it has a Foggy Leghorn hotel room in it!

[Joe Kyte, 08/04/2020]

Well, the chicken and its belly room still have a ways to go. Fitzgerald is known for its population of wild chickens, and the giant fowl was conceived to top the 56-foot-tall Big Chicken in Marietta. When completed, Fitzgerald's clucker will have a skin of live plants.
