Robert E. Lee had a pet chicken named Nellie. She followed him on his campaigns during Civil War and slept under his cot. Every morning she would lay him an egg for breakfast. It is said that when Nellie was lost during the Battle of Gettysburg, Lee and his men were very distressed until she could be found.
