The big chicken. Something that is featured in the "weird Georgia" book. It was built in the 1960s' by the owner, and is a great drive by "we saw that" thing to see.

What is it? Why, it's a giant chicken, 56 feet tall, built in front of a KFC in Marietta.

Why is it there? I have no idea.

Anything special? It's a giant chicken, that moves! On the side of the road, and you can also get lunch.

"We were looking for a place to stay in Marietta near the Square for our grandson‘s college graduation. We did not want a large place just for us so that we could get away as needed. The place and the location were perfect small studio apartment, but felt roomy beautifully decorated and lots of parking off the street"
