	Chicken - Encyclopedia, History, Geography and Biography
		Because of the risk of flight, chickens raised in the open air generally have one of their wings clipped by the breeder — the tips of the longest feathers on one of the wings are cut, resulting in unbalanced flight which the bird cannot sustain for more than a few meters.
		Chickens serve as one of the most common meats in the world, and are frequently prepared as food in a large number of ways.
		A chicken is tethered by the leg and kept present at the ceremony for the duration to ensure that any evil spirits present during the ceremony go into the chicken and not the family members present.

	Foghorn Leghorn - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		All of the motion picture Foghorn Leghorn cartoons were directed by Robert McKimson, and he vies with the Tasmanian Devil as the most popular character associated with the director.
		The references to Claghorn were obvious to much of the audience when the Foghorn Leghorn cartoons first premiered, but like many of the references in WB cartoons of the era, they have since become dated and "go over the heads" of most modern-day audiences.
		A leghorn is a breed of chicken, and foghorn describes the character's loud, overbearing voice.

		The leghorn is a lightweight, long tailed breed of chicken originating in Italy and highly refined in this country.
		In fact, the light brown leghorn coloration is similar to the red jungle fowl, which is presumed to be the domestic chicken's wild ancestor.
		Bantam leghorns can be as vigorous and hardy as their large counter-parts, and although they don't lay those large eggs, bantam breeders proudly say that three bantam eggs equal two large fowl eggs.

		The chief poultry bird is the chicken, which probably originated as a jungle fowl in SW Asia.
		Many distinct chicken breeds, once appreciated for their particular combinations of characteristics, have been combined through selective breeding into a few relatively standard types that are notably efficient converters of feed into meat or eggs.
		The dominant meat chicken today is a cross between the fast-growing female White Plymouth Rock chicken, and the deep-breasted male Cornish chicken (see Cornish hen).

	Leghorns
		When you see a rooster in a painting or an advertisement it is usually a slim-bodied bird with long sickle (tail) feathers and a large single comb: the typical male Leghorn.
		Leghorns, especially the White ones, are prodigious egg-layers and broodiness (the desire to hatch eggs) has almost completely been bred out of them.
		The light weight of this Mediterranean breed (males reach 6 pounds and females 4 1/2) makes it a poor choice if you are seeking a bird to provide meat for the table, although excess males can be used as fryers.
