Po Biddy Crossroads is an unincorporated community in Talbot County, Georgia, United States.
The settlement is located 4miles east of Talbotton on U.S. Route 80.
Po Biddy Crossroads acquired its name following a dinner party in the community where fried chicken was served. When a guest took the last piece of chicken, a female guest exclaimed, "there goes the last of the po' biddy!" (Southern vernacular for "poor little chicken"). The name "Po Biddy" was later proposed by someone registering a filling station at the settlement, "and the community has borne the moniker ever since".[1]
