Meet Blinky the Friendly Hen, a dead, headless, buried and exhumed grocery store chicken. Blinky started as an art joke thirty years ago by a Cal State Northridge art student Jeffrey Vallance.
A page from Jeffrey Vallance's book about "Blinky, the Friendly Hen." Blinky was a roaster he bought at Ralph's and turned into an underground art sensation.
