No. If you know chickens, their favorite food is their own kind. Like they are scary animals. Yeah. My favorite, Werner Herzog has some great quotes about if you want to see a frightened stare into the eyes of a chicken, there's like nothing but blackness in there. Oh, man. It's good stuff. Your chicken listeners are going to be pissed. You're being nasty. Yeah.
