Mumble the hen who thinks she's a penguin

The discovery of Mumble's unusual manner has also saved her life, with the family which owns her sparing her from the cooking pot.

The bird's identity crisis has made her a celebrity in Jiangsu, a province in eastern China where she is owned by farmer Lu Xi.

Local media outlets dubbed the chicken Mumble after the main character in the animated film Happy Feet, about a penguin that can't sing so dances instead.
