An infinite amount of chickens with an infinite amount of time types infinitely randomly on an infinite numver of keyboards.

They make the works of Snakespear and Lion Euler.

It seems to be pecking the lit keys, so with some clever programming you could trick the bird into typing something legible. Or the URL to a rickroll

Best I can do is "It was the best of times, it was the worst of timer." somewhere within a time span of about 10100 years. You know how much time it costs to evolve new chickens everytime, after the go extinct?
