CHICAGO (AP) -- It wasn't just a random act of kindness for a group of chickens to help a Chicago-area elementary school children in need of some good old-fashioned Corn on the Cob.
The Corn on the Cob festival is an annual event held by the city's food bank that brings together farmers from around the country to share the bounty of corn grown by city residents.
The program brings together farmers from across the city, and in recent years, it has given the birds a chance to teach them how to harvest and process the corn.
On Saturday, the group of four chickens walked from the west side of Chicago to St. Luke's Catholic Church in a southwest suburb.
Each of them was carrying a bucket of fresh corn. It was about 10 a.m
