After Ginger had defeated her and destroyed her farm, Tweedy, having learned that chickens have sapience, had then married a scientist, Dr. Fry, whom she worked with for twelve years using mind controlling devices in order to improve the quality of chicken meat, having learned that the quality of chicken meat improves when they are at ease and happy.
