Giant Chicken: Superior Poultry
Superior Poultry
750 North Broadway,
Los Angeles, California
90032
Superior Poultry in the Chinatown portion of Los Angeles on North Broadway plays host to a giant rooster on top of its chicken store. It's your standard white bird, with the typical paint job of so many other Giant Roosters in the city.
International Fiberglass is perhaps best known here as the company that made the Muffler Men that stand guard on our highways, but they also built other fiberglass statues such as the well known Sinclair Dinosaurs and the less known, but oh so awesome, giant rooster like this one in Los Angeles! At 8 feet tall, 3 feet wide, 5 1/2 feet long and weighing in at 100 pounds of fiberglass, these colorful fowl often could be found standing on top of or outside of chicken stores throughout the country.
International Fiberglass specifically targeted chicken restaurants for the big birds, and advertised them as "Something to Crow About . . . this Gigantic Rooster. Whether mounted high on the rooftop, at ground level, or wherever, this giant sales booster is an effective display that can be seen for blocks around."
Originally, I thought there were only four of these massive birds in California (one in the hills near Jackson, one in someone's side yard in Lockeford, and only one on top of a building in Los Angeles). But as it turns out there are easily at least 30 of these birds lurking in California, including a full on infestation in the Los Angeles area!
