Who Is Your Stupidest Hen?

[RyanAndMeri]

"She is also very puzzled by the feathering on her feet." LoL too funny. These stories are great!

I know our chickens probably have stories about how dumb WE are. When I have hair gel in, my favorite hen seems to think I'm molting and will try to preen it out (I let her sit on my shoulder while I'm on the computer.) I don't know that it's good for her so I bump her away with my head and she in turn pecks my temple as if to say "stop moving, dummy!" Fortunately it's not a hard peck.

One day she got rather frustrated with me and pecked me 3 times and I sayd "Hey - what are you doing?" She got real chatty right back. So I said "fine" and let her preen away until the left side of my head was completely fluffed. My wife saw it and said "LOL look what she did to your hair!"

I don't have any stories as entertaining as the rest of you guys but I sure did enjoy the laugh!!!
I would have to say out of my girls Dottie would have to be the dumbest. She just isn't exactly the brightest bulb if you know what I mean!

It would have to be our Silkie.

Peanut!!! HELLO! That golf ball is NOT GOING TO HATCH!!!
It doesn't matter if you cluck to it til h-e-doubletoothpicks freezes over! It is NOT going to ANSWER YOU! It doesn't matter how warm you get the golf ball! It WILL NOT be the child you want! NEVER! NEVER NEVER!!

There I feel better now.

My 'Spot' hen comes to the door every day pecking at the door. She lays BLUE double yolkers. She paces back and forth at the sliding door while I chat with you nice folks on BYC at the computer staring at me constantly through the back door. I finally give in and pick her up and take her to the nest boxes where she lays the most beautiful HUGE double yolkers. Been giving this 'goil' LOTS of olive oil to help with the passage of these huge eggs. I think she is thankful...like I was when the anesthesiologist came with my 3rd daughter who just didn't want to come!

well my girl Genevieve (EE) is not only afraid of everything but she's not too bright either.
Occaisionally I go out to the coop to let them out in the morning with a towel wrapped around my hair because I've just gotten out of the shower, I speak to them the whole time I'm out there so the other girls know it me even if I lookm a little funny.
Genevieve runs away from me sounding the fear alarm like a crazy person because she can't figure out its me with a towel on my head.
She's also famous for not being able to find the open gate. Our chicken run is over 100 ft long & 3 ft wide with two larger run areas & gates at both ends. She'll see her sisters get let out & start down the run toward the gate, get about two feet from it (its WIDE OPEN) & turn around & bolt down to the other side. Often zig zaging back & forth in a panic.
She's a doozy. If my girl's were the characters of the movie "chicken run" genevieve would be the one that knits.

This is going to make me sound bad, but my stupidest chicken was named Stupid.

Nope, it doesn't at all, because I have a roo I call Stupid, too. He truly deserves his name. He's an F1 showgirl, so don't ask me why he's the nearly as big as my Jersey Giants.

I actually think it's his personality rather than his intelligence that gets to me. He just doesn't seem to think or react the same as my other roos.

I really don't have a stupid chicken but my friend had this rooster who was so mean so my friend being a little kid at the time would ride his bike right on top of this rooster that is trying to attack him and the rooster would just jump up and chase right after him again and this would go on for hours

sorry about changing the tread from stupid hen to stupid roosters but it seem not to plaig just one gender
