Political event from the 2008 Republican presidential primary with no lasting impact or political implications. All sources mentioning the Iowa Chicken are about the presidential candidates (McCain and Giuliani) with no more than one or two lines about the individual in the chicken costume. I did not identify a suitable redirect target, as it is not even mentioned on the Iowa Straw Poll page. Enos733 (talk) 22:47, 22 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. Completely agree with the nominator. This seems like a minor political stunt with no lasting coverage or impact. KidAd • SPEAK 22:56, 22 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. This seems to be a one-off publicity stunt limited to one 2008 straw-poll. Contrast with the San Diego Chicken. — Maile (talk) 15:01, 24 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Delete It appears that references are largely deprecated, does not bode well for finding more, thus would concur with other comments so far. Royal Autumn Crest (talk) 15:43, 24 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]
