Earlier in the week, a man rode (rather, laid on the floor of) the 6 train with a chicken. Seriously.

Completely oblivious to any surrounding passengers, the man rolled around and hoisted the fowl above his head, sat it on his chest and let it rest on the ground next to him. Don't believe us? There's video after the jump.

The man appears to be wearing an MTA sweater, and Gothamist got the scoop. Turns out, the MTA doesn't encourage this behavior and they'll now investigate the photo evidence. If the man's identity is discovered, he may have deeper issues than this video lets on.
