Some relatives I've never met before came to our house one day. One of them noticed my chickens and requested to see my rooster, so I picked him up and brought him over. The poor guy's eyes bulged when he saw how big he was! He sheepishly reached a hand out and I shrieked, "My rooster attacks people!"
The guy jumped really high and looked like a scared kitten, "He'll attack me?" He was really concerned. I was laughing really hard by then, and other people came to watch the scene. I finally got the scared guy to pet Rio and I showed him that my rooster never attacks anyone.
But, oh man that was sooo funny.

This didn't start funny but a little humor at the end. I'm in the suburbs of St. Louis on 3/4 acre surrounded by 4-30 acre parcels on my side of the road and small lot subdivisions across the road.
A neighbor's pack of husky/malamutes attacked my coop of adolescent chickens killing everything they could reach.
I found live birds in trees, rafters, on fence posts, etc. I found dead/dying birds on the ground and in the coop. I was having trouble getting a count of what they killed(including what they carried away). I confronted the neighbor, she felt bad and she paid up.
A little while later there was a knock at the front door.
The guy at the door asked me if I had chickens and if I was missing one. Still steaming, I said "I'm missing a whole bunch" and went on to explain what had happened.
He was the owner of a retirement home down the road and said he had one there. I rode with him to see if it was mine and he explained that they saw what they thought were 2 hawks in the courtyard of the home. They realized it was 1 hawk and 1 chicken.
Apparently, in the mayhem with chickens and dogs running everywhere, a hawk picked up a chicken and carried it as far as it could and dropped it (in the courtyard). When it went down to get a new grip, the retirement home staff must have scared it off.
There wasn't a mark on that POL gold laced wyandotte pullet.
He brought me and my chicken home and I asked him, "how did you know I had chickens?".
He said, "I didn't, I just knew you had a lot of weird stuff up here so I figured you must have had chickens too."
:
For a while after that I said, "I loved hawks, they save my chickens from dogs."

I'm sorry about the loss, but I did get a good giggle out of "a lot of weird stuff", I get that all the time!

Kate, the funniest one was "Never Wake Up Nugget", c'mon. There isn't a story any funnier than that!
I think you're right, here it is! I discovered on that thread a bunch of other good ones too lol,, I had to read through them just for fun!
From October 2008:
There was an unusual amount of noise in my yard early this morning, so I went out to see what the issue was. Blue Rooster was in the middle of the front yard having a "stare-down" with a skunk! He had his feathers all ruffled and was doing the "Rooster dance" at the skunk.
I went back in to get my pistol and when I came back out Blue still had him at bay.
As I walked down my steps, it was 51 degrees,,, I was in bare feet and my nightie,,, and not a happy camper. I was trying to decide how to either scare off or shoot the skunk if he went for Blue before I could intervene. I never got a chance.
Suddenly Nugget woke up. BIG Nugget,, the dinosaur of roosters, had been disturbed. Nugget does not like to be disturbed while asleep I should mention.
Nugget stood up on the chain link fence, cocked his head and looked at Mr. Skunk. Then he jumped off the fence and walked into the yard behind Blue Rooster. Blue was concentrating on Mr. Skunk and didn't see Nugget. Nugget stopped right behind Blue, shook out his feathers and suddenly all the hackles on his neck stood up, his wings fluffed up, and he let out a sound something like a Velociraptor might have made, it scared me too! Mr. Skunk turned and ran and Blue,,,, welllll,,, Blue fainted. I'd never seen a chicken faint before but he hit the ground like a ton of blue bricks. It only lasted 10 seconds maybe and he popped back up, but I wasn't sure whether to laugh, cry, or what.
Mr. Skunk ran across the road and sprayed the neighbors two dogs. Nugget unfluffed and walked back to the fence, jumped up and went back to sleep. I would not want to be Blue Rooster in the yard this morning, I'll bet he's humiliated.
Never wake up Nugget!

Hmm, funniest... Well, I'm going to have to say the time I got my cousin to feed Scruffy.
So, I had found this nice juicy worm for Scruffster, and I hear a car drive in to our driveway. It was my cousins, Ryan and Taylor, and so I went to give them a hug. I tossed the worm to Scruffy, washed my hands, and went to the front. I gave them both really big hugs, and invited them into the backyard. I wandered over to the reeds near my small pond, and caught a dragonfly. "Here, wanna feed Scruffy?" I asked Taylor, who obliged. I wandered around, calling, and eventually found her. I told my cousin to hold it by the wings, and as soon as Scruffy saw it, she raced over, and leapt after it. She got the dragonfly and some of Taylor's finger. "Ow!" She said, as Scruffy ate her dragonfly.
Later on, I had Scruffy in my hands, and she crawled onto my arms. I asked my cousin if she liked feeding her, an she said no. When I asked her why, she said, "It feels weird, 'cause there's vains going through it's wings. It's pulsing, and, " She just shuddered. I had a good laugh, and asked her if she wanted to hold scruffy. "She said yes, and I was about to hand Scruffy to her when she flapped at her, bounced off, and ran for the trees. That was a memoriable Thanksgiving.
