Something you saw a chicken do that made you stop and say, WHAT The Hell?

I always find it hilarious when there's a squirrel eating the chicken food and the whole flock swarms after it to peck its guts out.

we have a squirrel named larry who always forages our chicken feed, The chickens hate him, whenever I see him I go "DAMN YOU LARRY!!" and the rooster joins in by crowing at him aggressively.

I’ve seen a couple of my hens walk backwards with their head down. Weird.

I went to the shed and found one of the hens in the feed bin

I set up a perfectly adequate dust bath spot for the chicks in the brooder, but they enthusiastically dust-bathe in their food

Look up chicken epilepsy.

Sometimes my rooster doesn't mate the hens, he just stands on top of them. I think he's asserting dominance

The teenagers are obsessed with the babies in the brooder. They spend a lot of time watching them, and sleep huddled together against the screen.

They seem to be perfectly fine. I’ve had two do it but it was just briefly. They are two year old hens now. Haven’t seen them do it in a while.

My meat rooster does the same thing!

I think he might just be stupid though……

My hen lays eggs off the perch and then they break and she eats them
