* Last year the Iowa Lottery called us again for some of our
barnyard "talent". Our white Orpington hen named Mattie was
chosen as the Iowa Lottery's spokeschicken for their Cheaper
by the Dozen Promotion. They came to the farm to take some
digital pictures (CGI) of her beak in order to be able to
manipulate it on the computer so she could appear as if she
was speaking. The next day she had to go to the studio so we
could get the rest of the shots (her sitting on a nest of
golden eggs with microphones in front of her as if she were
a celebrity at a press interview.) the whole thing was
hilarious to watch as they filmed it.
Well that was last year and I thought Mattie's fame and
fortune days were over. I was watching tv during lunch and
happened to see Mattie's commercial was being run again this
year. "Crazy", I thought jokingly saying to myself that she
should surely be due some residuals. HA. Well the studio
that did the spot called the next day to say that Mattie
woud have another check in the mail as they would run the
spot all of April due to popularity. It makes me laugh so
hard to think that this chicken's commercial was so popular
that the lottery brought it back. Mattie is worth her weight
in gold, not only as a tv star, but also as a pet. She is
the tamest calmest bird I have ever seen. I told her she
could retire now, but she still lays an egg daily.
