You don't know SHEEP ?

Until someone can demonstrate that sheep are, in fact, even more stupid than chickens, I maintain that the birds are the dumbest creatures on the planet.

Technically fish and bugs are dumber, but they have an excuse. Chickens have none.

I had a neighbor who was familiar with chickens....but he was ALSO very prone to wear a pair of RED Bermuda Shorts in the Summer.
Each time that he visited...wearing THOSE shorts....my MAIN Rooster ( Ole "Oro-Blanco de Gallo" ) ATTACKED him !!!

( He finally refused to visit me in the "Chicken-Area". )

Ha-Ha !!!

I once had a Cochin rooster that attacked me every time I wore a red corduroy jumper. After a few unscheduled flights, he learned not to attack me from the front, but would try to sidle around behind me and attack from the rear. I'd see him out of the corner of my eye, turn to face him, and say, "what do you think you're doing?" He'd act like, "who, me? I wasn't doing anything," and go find something else to do.

A friend of mine had a turkey tom that seemed inordinately fond of the shade of red known as "cranberry."

I no longer wear red Crocs in the yard. My normally mellow, dominant rooster goes frickin' NUTS over 'em. He fixated on my Crocs, circling me with his hackles slightly raised.

He didn't like my long skirt with a red hem, either.

Every once and while I go out to check on the girls in my sandals/flip flops Needless to say they always try pecking my toes. I have to watch them. They turn their heads and stare at my toes moving then out of no where peck me. My poor toes lol... Silly chickens. Also I wanna add. I've had several diffrent animals never chickens. I couldn't get over how smart my girls are. Shame on you calling them dumb

Maybe our chickens are "special." Our current batch of Rhode Island Reds took weeks to figure out that bread was not going to get up and kill them, and we had to put them in their coop every night because they were too stupid to figure out the ladder.

Our white leghorns, on the other hand, figured out both within a day of being placed outside, so maybe it's just the RIRs that are so mind-bogglingly stupid.

My sheep have tried to continue grazing with buckets stuck on their faces. Does that work for you?

Well, that's... um... special.

Okay, I think sheep might actually win this one, but not by much.
