That's pretty awesome. My inspiration comes from my friend David who wears a
chicken costume just for fun. Like around the house or takes naps in it. He
wears it no one is around. So then to make it one step stranger he took off
the top half of the chicken suit but kept the legs. So he was like a chicken
centaur. Then he would randomly kick his leg and bawk like a chicken when he
was talking to you. He also did this without missing a beat and acting like
it was completely normal.
