Chased By… Chickens!

Chickens? We don’t take no guff! Not from humans, not from dogs, and not from you!

How did these bold and ferocious birds ever get domesticated in the first place? Maybe we should be glad they didn’t wind up domesticating us.

Your Huggable Chicken

Never mind the affectionate chicken! I want to know about the cat who didn’t freak out when the little boy jumped over him. How many cats would let you do that?

And yes, the chicken is very nice, too.

Cats, Chicken, and Phony Crying Child

Just because they’re animals doesn’t mean they’re blinkin’ stupid. The cats know the kid is faking it, so they ignore him. The hen investigates–briefly. Then walks away. But then she doesn’t want to play with the cats, either.

So Who Needs a Chicken Coop?

This family keeps a rooster in their home. He crows when his favorite girl comes home from school. He also plays hide-and-seek, and runs around in that funny way that chickens have–always makes me smile.

Cat, Chicks… and a Sanity Break

Is God trying to tell us something? Show us something? “It can be this way for you, you foolish humans! Pay attention! Look!” The arch-predator cuddles baby chicks and their mother hen drifts into sleep… If they can do it, so can we.

Chickens’ Love Story

Here’s a rooster who’s crazy about his hen. Their names are Steve and Margaret. Steve lives in the big house with the humans. Margaret has this cute little chicken house. See Steve run to Margaret’s house in the morning. Gotta love it.

Chickens Rule!

How did “chicken” ever come to mean “chicken”? Man, these hens and roosters are kicking eagles down the stairs! Why do the eagles even bother? Maybe, as Ian Malcolm said in The Lost World, “They are misinformed.”

A Chicken’s Funny Babies

Bunch of eggs? Old hat! Here’s a chicken with a litter of kittens, instead. How she acquired them is not known to me. It has to be imagined. That could turn out to be a pretty good story.

Chickens Won’t Stand for It

Most of these videos show children provoking chickens and roosters–and getting their just desserts for it. Little smart-alecks: they don’t like it when the fowl strike back. So who said there ain’t no justice?

Liberace With Feathers

As Samuel Johnson might have said, of a chicken playing Puccini on a piano keyboard: it’s not done well, but you’re surprised it’s done at all. How well could you play, no-handed? Hand that hen a cup of corn!
