Matilda was just another chick in a magic show until the Guinness thing.

Now, she's known globally as well as locally.

Matilda, a bantam hen in Bessemer who has been a prop in the magic act of "Mort the Mystifying and Donna" for years, recently was designated as the World's Oldest Living Chicken. She has a letter and a certificate from Guinness World Records to prove it.

"Matilda is 14 years old," Donna Barton said, pointing to the small gray bird sitting on a perch in a parrot cage. The parrot cage is parked next to one holding her stage companion, Lucky the rabbit.

"She used to have an understudy, but she outlived it."

Bush and Cheney are about 60, and they're both chicken.
