Looks kind of like Paddy-RAMBO, trying to do the dance of Sheherazade in One Thousand and One Nights.

What a father day’s present – a chicken
Reminds me of Tommy Smother of the Smother Brothers pet chicken who used to beat of the dog of the other brother
What’s next – a wedding present for the bride of a pet chicken ?

Hens are female. The guy seemed a little confused about that. They can make decent out door pets.

Last Thursday I observed a rabbit commit suicide. It jumped off a 15ft retaining wall, flipping a couple times and landed on it’s head breaking it neck. Apparently rabbits haven’t developed the land on all fours wetware.

Pretty cool. I never thought about that amazing stabilization. Also interesting to watch the rapid jerk forward of a pigeon head as they walk. Wonder why they do that.
My guess is they want to keep the head stable to watch for predators as they walk. A guess, anyway.

Chicken achieve this amazing feat by tapping into quantum dynamics and fixing their heads in the 12th dimension. It’s a very well documented fact in physics.

Cool video, but the goth girl in the background contributes little.

I think the reason why chooks do this is the same reason why pigeons heads move back and forth when they walk, it takes longer for them to capture a clear image of what they see ( i guess if you compare them to a camera they have a slower shutter speed than us humans ), when i pigeon walk forward it’s head stays in the same place so they capture a clear image of what’s going on around them, then they move there head forward to catch up to there body and take another picture of the world around them, so i would say the chicken is keeping it’s head in the same place for the very same reason…
