Does that make me an anti-poultrist word I made up for another term that likely exists? When I was a little boy my parents took me to a farm and a chicken pecked the twinkie I was eating right out of my hand! Evil chickens I tell ya! However I find Gonzos are unique.

Camilla the Chicken is the love of Gonzo 's life. Her proper introduction on The Muppet Show is in episode when she and Gonzo have their first date, and it leads to trouble. She was previously seen and mentioned by name in episode during the jousting scene, and in episode when Gonzo attempted to audition her and another chicken named Nellie for Liberace 's concert he eventually agrees to sign them on for his Las Vegas act.
As Miss Piggy started out as one of a number of pigs , and Rizzo as one of many rats, Camilla evolved out of a group of chickens used on The Muppet Show as background Muppets.
Before being named in episode , a precursor to Camilla appeared in episode replacing Gonzo in the Pigs in Space sketch, and as Gonzo's dancing partner in episode played by Dave Goelz. Even as far back as episode , Gonzo finds love with a chicken when he sings " Won't Somebody Dance with Me " at the dance. Gonzo loves Camilla, but sometimes he chases after other chickens , because he's not always sure which chicken is which.
So Gonzo soon got a chicken girlfriend, Camilla. Whenever it came time to shoot with Camilla, we could never remember what color her eyes were. Sometimes we used blue, sometimes green, and so forth. So Jim and I developed this theory that Gonzo actually couldn't tell the difference between the chickens, and whatever chicken he could get to come along with him, he would call Camilla.
Chickens, being limited intellectually, were happy to go along with this. Any chicken is as good as any other chicken - as long as it's a hen. So the chickens don't know any different, cause they're not that bright. If you've ever spent any time with chickens, you know they're operating at a baseline. I don't think it's any lasting attachment.
The way it happened was, Gonzo had a crush on Piggy on the first season of The Muppet Show, and she would just deck him with a karate chop. And then the writers decided Gonzo would audition dancing chickens. And they arranged with our animal trainer, Mike, to train some chickens to dance.
Mike said, "Well, I can do it, but I'll need three weeks. He claimed he could teach real chickens to dance. And so the day of the shoot came, and the chickens came in, and they just didn't do anything. And Jim just loved this—he loved chickens 'cause he thought they were so silly. We had Gonzo set up in the basement of the theater on a box, and somebody outside the door would throw a chicken in, and the chicken would walk around, and I would ad-lib.
I had to ad-lib, because we didn't know what the chicken was going to do. All they did was walk in and peck at the floor a few times, and then walk off the set….
I had Gonzo look to the camera and say, "Nice legs, though.
