Is There A Term for It?

[HomesteaderWife]

Just curious to know if there was a term or nickname for a chicken's happy behavior- how there is "binky" for rabbits and such? I'm familiar with alot of terms but it just kind of hit me watching my hen jump around this morning and made me want to ask! The behavior I'm talking about is when they run and hop in the air, or side to side, wings outstretched and shaking their head a little.

I know what you're talking about, I just called it spazzing out lol goats do the some just go running through jump spin and shake it's hilarious with or without a name

I agree with the hilarity @Athena2344! My curiosity just got me and I realized I didn't know a name for it. I usually just call it being silly.

Pretty much they just wanna get the happy out lol
