A human-sized chicken appeared in Toronto, Ont. last week.

Chicken Farmers of Canada employed this kind chickens to help in the community as part of the organization’s “Raised Right” campaign.

The friendly fowl opened doors, paid for coffees, helped people cross the street, picked up litter and performed other acts of kindness.

These demonstrations of goodwill help highlight the work Canadian chicken farmers do to raise their flocks as best they can.

"It's simple: these chickens are out doing good deeds because they were raised right, just like chickens raised by Canadian chicken farmers," JJ Hochrein, director of brand marketing with Chicken Farmers of Canada, said in a statement. "Canadian farmers are proud to raise chickens with care and without hormones or steroids. It's not easy, but they go out of their way every day to do it right – just like the chickens you may have encountered around your neighbourhood last week."

Farms.com had contacted CFC for possible comment from the chicken.

HEAVY LOAD! Selling Breeding Rams!

Video: HEAVY LOAD! Selling Breeding Rams!

We are selling breeding rams today at Ewetopia Farms. This was quite the heavy load of yearling Suffolk and Dorset rams. Watch as we let the customer select the breeding stock he will use on his ewes at his farm. We ran them free first so he could watch them move, and then it was through the sheep chute to get a closer look at each ram individually. Finally, it was trying to load eleven rams weighing around 300 pounds each on to the trailer - easier said than done!
