Here’s one thing you wouldn’t expect to see upon leaving your house for work.

A family in rural Waynesboro, in the US state of Georgia, were left stunned after a 7ft Kentucky Fried Chicken bucket appeared overnight in their front garden.

Shocked mother Aleena Headrick immediately phoned her sons to verify what she was seeing, although they were left disappointed by the lack of fried chicken inside.

‘You just don’t expect to see that when you leave your house,’ she told ABCNews.com.


‘There’s not a road where it’s at and we have dogs that would have barked, you know, if anybody was nearby.’



Ms Headrick added: ‘It was surprising that it’s all of a sudden sitting in the corner of my front yard.’

KFC, sensing a golden PR opportunity, promised to send them some free chicken to enjoy next to the giant bucket.

‘We have been in touch with her and we’re working on a date when we can deliver Kentucky Fried Chicken and all the fixings for her and her family,’ said a spokesman.

The bucket, believed to have been left by the family’s sign-collecting landlord, has now become a tourist attraction.

‘Some people have come to take pictures with it,’ added Ms Headrick. ‘We’ve got people going across our yard all morning long to go take pictures.’
