Don't call him chicken
Sunjit Kumar of Suva, Fiji, was raised by chickens. OK, they didn't really raise him, but as a young boy, his grandfather locked him in a chicken coop where he lived for several years. After Kumar escaped, he was taken to an old age home where the baffled staff confined him for twenty years. Now though, Elizabeth Clayton, president of a Rotary Club in Fiji's capital city, has, er, taken Kumar under her wing.
"Sujit would mostly hop around like a chicken, peck at his food, perch like a chicken and make noises like a chicken," she said. "He would prefer to roost on the floor to go to sleep rather than sleep in a bed."Kumar currently resides in a former factory while undergoing therapy. Video available here, although he doesn't act very chicken-like in the footage. More of the story here.
