Giant Rooster
The giant rooster is not a distinct species, but rather a mutant, oversized version of the common rooster. It's not clear what makes them so big. Maybe it's the food they eat, or something in the air. Maybe it's radiation. Whatever the reason, giant roosters have been a frequent subject of photographs from the beginning of the twentieth century onwards. Many of these photographs have been sent as postcards. During the drought years of the Great Depression midwestern farmers seemed to enjoy sending postcards of giant roosters (and other giant-sized livestock and produce) to their friends and relatives back east. These postcards were frequently captioned: "They grow 'em big here!"

Your coloured photo shows my neighbour, Robert "Slim" Pickins, proudly displaying his giant rooster, "Big Boy". This photo is real because my father took this about 4 years ago. Being his neighbour, I used to feed and water all his chickens during the summer when he holidayed at his brother's in the States. It was on rare occasion that they got nasty. I still carry the deep scar on my left bum cheek when I moved too slow while feeding them. My Mum said that would be the last time to help him. She was right.

In Harpers magaizine there was an article about a German director, Warner Herzog (I might have misspelled that). There was a footnote about how he had travelled across America searching for the largest rooster he could find. Finally he found a 32 pound rooster. Then he found a horse that was two feet tall, and tried to convince the horse's owner to let him film the horse (whose name was Frank) being chased around the largest sequoia tree in the world by the rooster, while being ridden by a midget. Frank's owner refused. I have no idea if this story is true, but it sound like something Herzog would do.

Postcards of that time frequently show oversized versions of chickens,fish,vegetables and such as a way to cheer themselves and others up by showing that people still had a living,even though they often knew they were fake.Its hardly suprising that more modern versions,still faked but more realistic,turn up.

I hope that Jason Matika is telling the truth because if he isn't he can get in serious trouble. I hope hes heard about the guy on wikipedia who edited the page saying that he was so and so and had info. Because even the the site is museumofhoaxes that doesnt mean he can lie.

I believe this aspect is growing everywhere as business owners learn what it is. For example, Phoenix is much more sophisticated in this regards than here in Tucson. I average small business owner is still way behind in their understanding such incidents.

THIS ROOSTER IS SO FAT AND FAKE!!!I saw one of these on my trip to Mount Rorirama after seeing a Megalosaurus kill an Iguanodon. I also saw a Hodag on the way up to the summmit, where I saw the two Dinosaurs and eventually this. Other creatures I saw were a Pteranodon and vicious savages.
