Do any of your chickens chase birds?

My silkie bantam hen loves to chase Robins out of bushes and it's really cute when she does it but i was wondering if anyone else have experienced that?

Yep. A couple of our more dominant hens will chase and squawk at magpies in the garden.
However, for some reason, they all really like pigeons and will let the things eat with them, which gets a bit troublesome for us sometimes.

Mine don't go out of their way to chase them. But they will defend the ground under the bird feeders. I had one RIR repeatedly chase a sparrow that was trying to land there. Or maybe the sparrow was taunting the hen.

my younger pullets chase birds and i think its to earn their keep

Birds, butterflies, leaves, pieces of lint flying by...anything. But only for a second or so..

They are easily distracted but inherently lazy.

My hens will chase away HUGE crows! These crows are bigger then them, I need to get a video of it one of these days.

I have a salmon faverolle rooster who HATES blue jays, sparrows and squirrels. He chases them. The squirrel DOES taunt him, for sure. But Hitchcock will circle the tree trunk in which the squirrel has "escaped."

My bantam buff Brahma rooster chases birds, too, especially the blue jays.
