The whole story is a hoax.

Versions of this legend have been circulating for several years now, 
as indicated by the e-mail's reference to Kentucky Fried Chicken's "recent" 
name change, an event that occurred back in 1991.  Earlier versions of the 
tale featured six-legged chickens ("How do they taste?" "Dunno; no one's 
ever been able to catch one") or birds so plumped up by chemicals that 
their gigantic breasts made it impossible for them to keep their balance 
well enough to walk. 

A complete explanation of this hoax is at:
