Hen spinning head 360?

[Wezdin]

Hi all, just had a question for anybody.
A few years ago before i was not into chickens someone posted a video on fb of their hen that could and would turn its 360 degrees around at will!
Has anybody else heard of this? is it just a extraordinary chicken?

That was probably a edited clip.

Edited your post to what I think you mean.
So... 360 spinning round and round exorcist style?
Or back and forth encompassing 360° view?
Many birds can turn their neck so the beak is over their backs.

Sorry for the late reply, I think it was just that the hen could turn her head over 180 degrees to look behind herself thanks for replying to a weird thread like this.

I think most birds can do that....owls are best at it.

My chickens do this too but yes most birds do this. I think it’s because they are to lazy to turn their bodies around so they just move their head honestly

Why turn your whole body when you can just move you head/neck.
Not 'lazy', just efficiency of motion.

True even though my chickens are lazy at everything!

I really had a chuckle at this! If I saw a chicken's head spinning exorcist style, I'd either be running for an axe or some holy water!
