What exactly IS that "scared chicken dance" they do? LOL

[HennysMom]

Okay - so... I know you all know what I"m talking about here - you know the dance...

you walk up suddenly on your chicken and they throw their little wings out really fast...then sort of do that shimmy shake thingy and move their little feet up and down realllllly fast?

WHY do they do that? I'm assuming they are terrified LMAOOOO but its just so comical to watch them

takes the chicken dance to an entirely new level

My rooster dances like that when I come in with treats. The rest of them just rush me.

Are you all talking about the "squatting , half out wings , feet shuffling dance " ? If so , maybe we should have a talk about the birds and the bees.......

unionwirewoman: I don't think that discussion is allowed.

I wish my chickens danced!

Most of my girls do the dance...complete with the thump thump thump.

No..its not a mating thing....

I'm talking about if they are out ranging and if I walk up suddenly on any of them, they do this, what I call "scardey chicken" dance

They stop after I reach down and pet them....it only lasts like 5-10 seconds or so.

Just like I described in the first post... its funny to watch them do it, it cracks me up every time!

Cetawin - yours do it to?
