Via Doug Harvey, a video that brings back memories. Except that our late Doberman was deathly afraid of chickens, for some reason.
Addition from Mrs. Homestead: I wouldn’t characterize our dog as having been deathly afraid of chickens. Rather, I’d say he let the chickens push him around–very much like this video. Once I found him trapped, unable to get to the house because the mean chickens were blocking his path, so I had to rescue him. But often enough they’d all coexist peacefully, with the chickens pecking right under his long legs while he sniffed around the yard.
That’s just awesome. Those of us with chickens know that they’re much smarter than you’d think.
I sometimes think that dogs and cats are afraid of chickens because when they were small they were pecked on the nose by a chicken. Maybe not.
Wow, what a funny video! Looks like that dog does not have any food aggression issues.
Ah chicken cannibalism. They are so amoral.
