It’s obvious this rooster is looking for something–but what? The video is labeled “Friendly rooster follows owner”–do they mean whoever’s holding the camera?
Note the rooster’s unusual feathery feet. It looks like he’s wearing slippers.
Well, we can’t ask him what he’s looking for… but we can speculate to our hearts’ content.
I have no excuse for posting this, except I really do love to watch chickens run. And if they’re going to run to meet you when they see you coming–well, what more could anybody ask?
For those of us who’ve never lived in a farm, it’s and new and rather heart-warming experience to watch a mother hen teaching her chicks to feed themselves. She’s constantly vocalizing, and we can’t help thinking those sounds are the chicken equivalent of speech. She even takes some of the grain out of the dish so the chicks can reach it more easily.
As Rev. D. James Kennedy used to say, “Ain’t chance grand!”
All right, it’s not the most exciting video in the world, but it’s got to be one of the sweetest. And wouldn’t you like to see these two grow up together?
Shut up, over there! I’m a swordsman and I can be as sappy as I please.
Are they afraid of cats and dogs and puppies? No way! Are they sweet and affectionate with their pet humans? See for yourself! Will they just stand there and watch while some kid runs away with their food? Not likely!
And I’d better not show too many of these videos, or I won’t be able to eat chicken anymore. I knew I was headed for trouble when I started feeling warm and friendly to the blowfish I was catching off the dock…
Who ever expects to see a chicken chasing a horse? I mean, the roosters in this video are out to take no prisoners and they don’t care if the targets of their wrath are many times bigger than themselves. Like–a horse? Rooster’s got to be kidding.
Of course, you could always just stand still and wait for the punch line…
I don’t know quite how to explain this, but something about the way chickens run always delights me when I see it. And we also have roosters who usurp cats’ dinners. I don’t suppose there are many shy roosters.
I’ve heard domestic chickens can’t fly in any meaningful sense of the word. Some of you have or had had chickens. Did any of them ever fly away?
Do you get the impression this dog wants the chicken to chase him? I do. I’d also like to see what would happen if she caught him. But I don’t think the hen is giving it quite her all.
Gee whiz, all she did was open the chicken coop to let them out for the day. You’d think they’d be grateful. But no–that’s not the Funky Chicken that she’s dancing. That dance is called “Oh, s***, they pecked me again!” Looks like this poor lady gets a lot of practice.
You just don’t think of chickens chasing people; but they do. Okay, it’s mostly little people. Children. No adult is going to let himself or herself be filmed fleeing in terror from an angry chicken. I mean, you’d never live it down, would you?
