    A) How you not know what a chicken is?

    B) Hit the chicken with a stick or kick it hard enough, and it will leave you alone.

      It only just dawned on me that it’s possible to eat (grocery store) chicken your whole life and never actually see a live one, anywhere. If nobody told you what a chicken looked like, you would never know.

          It itched for several seconds, so me dousing the ant hill in petrol and lighting it up was just the rational thing to do.

          It’s a hen, not a rooster. So it isn’t even territorial, it’s not attacking you. It can peck your bare toes and while it may surprise you, I’ve never had them break skin/bled from it. (And I never bother putting on shoes). But my spouse has a pair of sandals? Slides some would call them that are like foam and the always are interested in pecking those to see if they are food, I think it’s the design.

          Now if the rooster in the middle really wanted to start something maybe you’d have reason to peck back but kicking a hen is akin to roundhouse kicking an unsuspecting toddler in the face. It isn’t self defense, it’s dropping a nuclear bomb on a homeless person asking for change

            it’s not attacking you.

            I’m not OP. I don’t know what that chicken was doing to him. But if it’s enough to drive him away from his fishing spot, I say that’s enough to warrant hitting back.

      I was on a geology field trip, in college, and another student saw free range cattle and was excited to see her first elk.

        I mean, it is way too small, but has four legs and two visible ears, so there’s that. But still, though.
