A Chicken Wearing Blue Shorts Is the New Chewbacca Mom

It’s not everyday you see a chicken wearing human clothing, which is why one of the latest videos to hit the Internet is going viral.

In an unusual Facebook post from Debra Snodgrass, a chicken is seen running around his pen wearing blue shorts. That’s right, there’s a chicken residing in Prescott, Ariz., who enjoys dressing up in clothing — and millions of people on the Internet have witnessed this flair for fashion.

As strange as it may seem, Snodgrass says her chicken, whose name is Charlie, wears this kind of attire because he loves being the center of attention. However, in addition to his enthusiasm for style, he’s a big beauty fan as well. “Connor and I also painted his nails last night,” writes Snodgrass on Facebook alongside the clip. “He was feeling good with his nails done and new pants.”

Talk about a pampered pet! Charlie is the only chicken in the roost lucky enough to get into a pair of pants, and truth be told, he seems to be luxuriating in it. Although, not all of the viewers are pleased with the fact that Charlie is wearing human clothing. One woman commented on the video, "I can see by the way he’s moving that he dislikes this game you have going with him,” prompting a back and forth conversation with Debra over the matter. Unsurprisingly, many other viewers felt much differently than the critic, with one woman writing, “This is hilarious! All you haters stop! I’m sure Charlie doesn’t wear his pants all the time….Thanks for the laugh Debra.”

Considering the fact that people put clothing on their dogs and cats all the time, it doesn’t seem too bizarre that a a fellow pet owner would want to dress up her chicken as well. There’s even websites that sell designer apparel for poultry, so if you feel so inclined as to copy Debra and her fowl Charlie, it’s entirely possible to do so.
