I know a lady deathly afraid of Chickens and freely admits to it.
I asked her why, and she doesn't know as nothing unusual ever happened, she just is scared. I guess it's like some people are afraid of MICE... I have no idea why. But they are.
But I have to hand it to Teresa .. she still went on the field trip with the kindergarten class, to a farm with free roaming chickens. She was scared and hid behind people to separate herself from the chickens.
(quite comical as she was a large lady ... close to 6 feet tall, hiding behind me ...lol 5 feet tall)
