Well I guess they are going to be someone's dinner anyway. Kind of
like the poor goats. At least no one named a goat Phil.

They can't. According to my 4 year old granddaughter. All goats are named
Howard. She named them that when she was 18 months old... lol.

I kept thinking of two things every time I thought of the chickens.
The first was that Phil was going to ask contestants to turn the
chicken over, to see if it had the winning mark for the prize
that leg, just like those trolls had a mark to win a vacation. That
scenario was foiled when the first team arrived and it didn't happen.
Then I expected Phil to find at least one team with a dead chicken,
and that would carry a penalty or something. "Do you still have your
chicken with you?" "Yes". "Is it alive?"
Unlike the trolls, there was no sense to it all other than as a burden.

It reminded me of an incident in Neil Pert's "The Masked Rider", where
a local "count" (a Fon) in west Africa (Camaroon, I think) gave the
group of touring bicyclists a chicken. They kept it alive for a few
days, as I recall, then added it to the pot at a Peace Corps station.
It seemed like it was a 'white elephant' that they couldn't just free
or give away because it was a gift from an important man.

That is what I was expecting as well. Instead, we got Phil asking each team
if they had a chicken. Is Phil blind or just really stupid?
Side note: Did the blondes have a chicken? For some reason, their arrival
on the mat seemed to have been all but edited completely away.

I know the Goths' chicken was alive because you heard it making noise
when Phil asked if they had it. Maybe it was trying to get it's big
break on television.

Or it was a sound effect added in later.
Seriously, I could tell at least a few of them were alive.

Funny, I at first read that as "its big beak on television".
Maybe it was envisioning having its head bitten off.
I imagine that sort of transport is normal. Not just because the
show wouldn't do it without precedent, but if you live in a region where
it's common to bring home a live chicken, they likely have developed
transport methods.
The real risk as I see it was whether the contestants were careful enough
or not.
