How often are frozen chickens seen flying around?

Reminds me of a joke that went around NASA several years ago. NASA created a bird proof windscreen then shot chickens out of an air cannon to demonstrate its strength. They sold rights of the formula to a European aircraft manufacture, who called NASA up to say the formula was defective every time they shot a chicken out of their cannon it smashed through it like it wasn't even there. NASA replied, "Gentlemen THAW your chickens".

I would expect a frozen chicken to shatter. I think this bird was thawed.

Looking at the video again, it does look like the bird was thawed - there is a lot of "splatter" upon impact 0:03 to 0:06

The chicken would have defrosted on impact if it was flying fast enough...
