I downloaded this chicken long ago, as chicken.zip dated 29 Ded 1999, containing only Chicken.3ds dated 6 May 1999 size 53,131 bytes, and chicken.jpg 12 May 1999 size 5362 bytes. Any idea who made this model? It could be classed as the biggest Poser prop ever! :: it is 177521 units high, which in Poser scaling is 280.178 miles!!

Wow! That's a lot of chicken. Sorry can't help you on who made it. Or even answer the age old question, which came first, the chicken or the egg - but it was bound to have been a very large egg, don't yah think? :O)

Or even answer the age old question, which came first, the chicken or the egg ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ I've always contended that it was the egg. A chicken is a man-made creation, which game about from breeding a type of wild bird known as a guinea fowl. So one day a guinea fowl laid an egg and out hatched a chicken. So the egg came first. Actually all a chicken is is a device an egg created for making more eggs.

what an omelette... or check that chicken dinner...

LOl- yup dbowers22 dinosaurs layed eggs birds are decended from dinos chickens are birds eggs came before birds eggs came before chickens!

Some people just suck all the mystery out life. hehe. Okay, so what came first, the dinosaur or the egg? :O)

And here, all this time, I been thinking that the planet itself was just one big ole egg...

"Okay, so what came first, the dinosaur or the egg? :O)" The egg, since it's very similar to unicellular creatures which were around a long time before anything developed a spinal column.

~l~

I never really developed a taste for poultry.

i have wanted a chicken like that forever..and never found a free one..if you do find out where or who let me know please..does it have a read me?? can it be given out?? netta

Isnt that from Cafe3D?

yeah I know what you mean LD, bawk bawk just ain't that appetising....mmmmooooo--( cut off due to throat being ripped out by teeth ) really gets the appetite going. Sean, you may be right, the bareness of the archive is a Cafe3D style.

I have that chicken...it's in my Sphere of Annilation Pic... It might be 3d cafe..I got a lot of the models in this pic from there....

I have texture-mapped it. Shall I turn it into a Poser character and post it, or not?

Here's where you can get it from:

I do prep work for my brother ( he is a chef ) on the weekends and they get massive chicken breasts, one was 26oz's which is HUGE, so now I know where it came from LOL

I have texture-mapped it. Shall I turn it into a Poser character and post it, or not? Hmmm ... I wouldn't until I got permission from the person who made it.

This link offers Chicken.3ds.gz (24281 bytes) & gives the date Feb 14 2003. This link's owner is unlikely to be the man who made the mesh. As SeanMartin guessed it was likeliest got from 3DCafe, even though it is not on 3DCafe now. To me its best classification is old-unknown-source-ware. It is a very simple mesh that I see no purpose in any more than a simple Poserization (e.g. posable neck and legs), and not like Posette or Victoria : [de minimis non curat lex](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/De_minimis). To me, it is best for background stuff, e.g. a few hens pecking about in the background.

It could make a lot of KFC (extra crispy please):-)

"Which came 1st, the chicken or the egg?" Actually, the rooster did ;-)
