The Chicken was the best mascot/spirit leader we have EVER had.
He was worth the price of admission by himself. Basketball was the perfect venue for him. He could do court antics and interact with fans as well. The best thing for him to do with other sports is just mingle with the fans either tailgating or in the stands.
I don't know what the particulars about this, but I would fully support bringing the Chicken back permanently. He was/is perfect for us.
