Yeah, that's the one. When I first started raising chickens a dear old lady mentioned the movie to me & said I should see it. I had never heard of it at that time. I rented it first & enjoyed it so much I bought it. (Ma and Pa Kettle just crack me up! I started a collection of their oldies too, but this one still remains my favorite.) Hope you have a few good laughs - as they say, they don't make 'em like that any more.)

I watched the first two before duty called in the form of family dinner. The way that lady performed CPR on her hen in part one was really neat & in a way funny...but hey, it worked.

They didn't eat him...I saw a clip with the farmer as an elderly man...he had him stuffed and he said he still saw him every day in his garage. It was sad...he looked like he was tearing up a bit. I imagine it would have been difficult for the farmer. On another clip, I saw that they received a lot of hate mail from people saying it should have been put down...there were several experts that determined he wasn't suffering.
