The Big Chicken

In the early 1960s, Johnny Reb's was a Marietta greasy spoon with a challenge. Owner Tubby Davis faced increasing competition and needed a means of attracting customers to his establishment. "Reb" burgers at 15 cents a shot were no longer unique, but his fried chicken might just do the trick. Davis hired Hubert Puckett in 1963 to design and build the original 56-foot high sheet metal structure.

The chicken's eyes were designed to rotate and the beak would open and close. A ruffle on the top of the Big Chicken's head would move from side-to-side in the wind. In January 1993, storm winds damaged the structure, and public's affection for the bird led KFC to spend $700,000 to rebuild the landmark. The bird is still a signal to pilots, who use the building as a reference point on approach to Atlanta and Dobbins Air Reserve Base. The new Big Chicken even includes the original design of beak and eyes which move, although this time the vibrations which plagued the first structure have been eliminated. The Big Chicken's popularity has led to a small cottage industry of sorts, selling souvenirs emblazoned with the monument, including one sweatshirt showing Big Ben in London, the Eiffel Tower in Paris, the Coliseum in Rome, and the Big Chicken in Marietta.
