so cousin katie gave her a pair of bantams, and she not only named them, but she taught them a trick, and the trick she taught her chickens was to walk backwards, and she was successful. cousin katie lets the newsreel corporation about what her cousin has done, and on the property in 1931 they shot a newsreel called do you reverse starring mary o'connor and her backward-walking hen. the rooster wouldn't cooperate on the day the cameraman was here. and you can go online and look up do you reverse and there the newsreel is in its entirety. mary flannery stand anything the back, she puts a hand up on her shoulder, and that chicken walks backwards. and, evidently, that had quite an impact on mary flannery's life because in a letter in 1955 she would write to a friend and say that was the most exciting thing that ever happened to me. it's all been down mill from there -- downhill from there, so we always like to show that to our quests. our guests.
