That might be a traumatic shock...
[B]That must be a fake. Most of those 'raised by a ...' are. [/B][/QUOTE]Yeah, ever since Tarzan's biography was published, people've been trying to copy his story.

This one isn't. The story broke here quite a while ago, and I've seen nothing to suggest it's a fake. Sure, there might be a bit of exageration in the media, but I don't think it's completely untrue.
Yes, I'm serious, and no, I am not a nut. Granted, I would've preferred if he had been raised by a more interesting animal, but, hey, chickens are carbon-based life-forms, too. ;)
[B]It could be something of a boon for animal psychologists. Quite a few nonhuman animals have rudimentary languages, and if this guy actually learned any meaning behind the various walks and squawks of the chickens (as a child learns the meanings of those strange noises the Big People make), he could give some very interesting information on chickens.

[quote]"He had imitated or imprinted with the chicken," said Elizabeth Clayton who is rehabilitating the man. "He was perching, he was picking at his food, he was hopping around like a chicken. [I]He'd keep his hands in a chicken-like fashion[/i], and he'd make a noise which was like the calling of a chicken -- which he still has." [/quote]
