Fitzgerald, Ga. is known for its chickens. Possibly because they aren't your average chickens but are actually a surviving bloodline of the Red Junglefowl that was brought over to the U.S. But it also may have something to do with the fact that they run free in the city and are protected under a city ordinance. And of course, there is the fact that the city is currently in the process of building the world's largest topiary chicken that will also be an Airbnb. So, the birds are most definitely a part of the town and are even celebrated every year with the Wild Chicken Festival. But they weren't always a city favorite and led to some pretty packed city commission meetings. So, how did they become a staple of Fitzgerald? Why were they brought to the U.S. in the first place? And how have they survived? Find out on this week's episode of Sweet Tea & History.
