How about the 2010 movie The Book of Eli with Denzel Washington. There's a couple of cages of chickens, two look like some kind of red sex-link. Who knew chickens were hardy enough to survive a nuclear apocalypse.
I don't see the 1986 movie Highlander. There are chickens in the Highland village market scene. I've seen that movie at least 25 times but never closely looked at the chickens till my chicken disease came on.
Also, I recall chickens in an episode of Firefly but can't remember which one. Since there are sadly only 13 episodes it ought to be easy to figure out.
I guess I'm a sci-fi geek.
