Man raised by chickens
Social workers in Fiji are trying to rehabilitate a 32-year-old man they say was raised by chickens.

The man was locked in a chicken coop as a child for years by his grandfather after his parents died, reports NBC.

He had little contact with humans and picked up the habits of the birds. After escaping from the coop, the man was taken to a local hospital.

No one knew how to treat him, so hospital workers locked him in a room and tied him to his bed for more than 20 years

3. Does he lay eggs? That's got to be a real moneymaker if he picked up that
trait.
