Sandra Bullock riding a bicycle with a chicken on her handlebars.
I mean, hey, who hasn’t done that? (Confession: I haven’t, but I want to now.)
Most of us chicken lovers can’t claim super-celebrity status (outside of our own households, anyway).

But fame hasn’t stopped Sandra from sticking to her farmgirl roots.
She tells it like it is.
And, according to a recent article in Vogue, chickens are IT.
“Back in California, she keeps chickens named for comediennes: Carol Burnett, Wanda Sykes, and a Phyllis Diller, until she was revealed to be a rooster and rechristened Phil Diller,” reveals interviewer Jason Gay.
Rest assured, her California chickens are not a flight of fancy. Sandra has a history with hens, a longstanding rapport with roosters …
“When I was like 12, I had a chicken named Colonel Sanders and he was not a chicken chicken,” she told Dennis Hensley a few years ago. “He liked people. He would stand on the top of your handlebars while you were riding your bike through the neighborhood.”
Can’t you just see it now?
Something a bit like this:

This is a great testimony that chickens do have personalities and capable of interacting with humans. It just reinforces the need to keep pushing for better laws regarding chicken and egg production!!
