Which farmer in Wes Anderson’s Fantastic Mr. Fox is known for raising chickens?

The story behind the answer

Boggis is the farmer known for raising chickens in Wes Anderson’s Fantastic Mr. Fox.

The film begins with Mr. Fox stealing from three neighboring farmers: Boggis, Bunce, and Bean. Boggis is described as a chicken farmer, Bunce raises turkeys and produces cider, and Bean grows apples and makes cider. Their contrasting farms give Mr. Fox different targets for his raids.

After Mr. Fox breaks his promise to stop stealing, the three farmers unite to trap him and destroy his home. Their campaign drives the film’s underground survival adventure. A frequent mix-up is assigning chickens to Bunce or Bean, but Boggis is specifically the chicken farmer. The animated film adapts Roald Dahl’s 1970 children’s book and was released in 2009.
