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…

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

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.

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.

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.

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

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 ?

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