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.

In this episode of The Swine Nutrition Blackbelt Podcast, Cierra Kozole, PhD candidate in Swine Nutrition at the University of Guelph, explains how methionine supports lactating sows beyond milk protein synthesis. She discusses updated requirement estimates, source comparisons, methylation demand, and why modern sow genetics may require more precise amino acid strategies. Listen now on all major platforms!

"Methionine supports protein synthesis while also serving critical functions through methylation pathways that influence multiple biological processes."

Meet the guest: Cierra Kozole / cierra-kozole-772b64253 is a PhD candidate in Swine Nutrition at the University of Guelph in Canada. Her doctoral research focuses on refining estimates of methionine requirements for primiparous lactating sows, including evaluating methionine sources, nutrient partitioning, methylation reactions, and the links among amino acid supply, milk production, and sow protein retention.
