Why are my hens afraid of frogs?

Maybe 'afraid' is too strong a word. I'm curious if anyone has noticed this behavior among birds in your flock. I even tried tossing bread near the frog I found in my yard, with some crumbs landing directly on top of it, but these hens look at me as if to say, "we love bread but not that much".
 
My hypothesis is the frogs my chickens encounter are normally stationary. I don't know how the hens will react when and if they see frogs hopping around. I hate to see them forego such a huge serving of protein.
