Hilariously mischievous chickens who were publicly shamed
In most backyard flocks, chickens generally stick to laying eggs and minding their business—but a few can’t resist stirring things up. While their primary role is to be egg producers, some feathered troublemakers have chosen to march to the beat of their own drum.
These mischievous hens sometimes harass their flockmates or even annoy other animals around the yard. They’re far from the ideal flock members, and their owners definitely take notice. With attitudes this daring, it’s easy to picture them starring on a “Most Wanted” list—coop style.
The Nice One, The Slightly Annoying One, And The Really Annoying One

At least this shaming plaque keeps things lighthearted. Tag yourself or a friend—chances are, the annoying one will show up more often than the others.
It’s kind of like playing Fortnite with your squad: there’s the pro, the noob, and the clueless player who keeps dying over and over.
Read This With A Scotish Accent

Yikes, what a rough way to wake up—being greeted by a rooster’s crow after a night of heavy partying.
On the upside, this rooster’s striking appearance might just soften the blow of that early alarm. Honestly, if chickens ever had music careers, this one would surely be known as Ludwig van Chickenhoven.
Maury Povich Has The Answer To That

Today on Maury, we’ve got a chicken confused about who the father really is. In fact, the chicks might be just as puzzled about their mother, since the hens may have swapped nests and cared for each other’s eggs.
Without any child support in sight, they’ll have to rely on gossip to learn if the father has already met his maker.
Wild Is A State Of Mind

Her wild, tousled hairstyle perfectly matches her spirited personality. She’s as clever as they come because she understands one crucial fact.
Perching high to avoid predators is a deeply rooted instinct passed down through generations of chickens. And when it comes to battling rivals, roosters treat it like their own version of the UFC.
Rest In Pieces, Pumpkins

Pumpkins are nutritious, but chickens aren’t exactly focused on creating the perfect Martha Stewart-style fall display.
They’re all about practicality, making sure no morsel goes to waste. Only farmers would see this as a compliment, because the chickens secretly love the pumpkins—they’re just too busy enjoying them to make it look pretty.
Oh, My! How Could You?

That must be quite the tasty treat for her! While some might think it’s normal for chickens to eat unviable eggs to regain protein, there’s another factor at play here.
Her diet was low in calcium, which is essential for making strong eggshells. So, eating those eggs helps her get the nutrients she needs to stay healthy and keep laying.
You Go, Girl

Care to share what that kitty did to you? That’s one real chick magnet for anyone looking to earn some respect from another animal.
Imagine this: if a WrestleMania version of chickens were to happen, this little chick would totally square off against the cat for the fight of the century. It would be an epic showdown for the ages!
Humans Are Being Trained By Roosters

The rooster’s name is Pavlov, and he’s clearly keeping copious notes for future reference. This chicken has played the humans like a damn fiddle, and it’s absolutely hilarious.
But let’s be real—if the mother stopped bringing snacks, those screams at the back door would stop real quick.
Now In Poultry!

She might be laying it on thick, but this is a classic case of an unfair gender stereotype. Still, being a little bossy isn’t so bad—especially when you’re this cute.
This chicken clearly has leadership written all over her, but her human is holding her back from reaching her full, presidential potential..
The Dog Taught Them How

Maybe they’re just missing a little extra fiber in their meals. At least they’re bold enough to stick around and own up to the noise—unlike the dog, who’s conveniently vanished.
No worries, though. Those sounds were basically chicken scratch anyway—kind of their playful way of telling humans, “go ahead, try me.”
Leading The Flock Astray

Not only did this rooster decide to go AWOL on his own. He brought the entire flock with him. It sounds like this family lives in a neighborhood, which makes it pretty hysterical.
Imagine an entire flock of chickens and roosters marching down the sidewalk. Poor Jasmine didn’t make it back and probably has some regrets about following this rooster.
It’s A Bird, It’s A Plane, It’s The Easter Chicken!

It’s no shock that some farmers let their chickens “enroll” in Easter Bunny 101. If only they laid brightly colored eggs to go along with it.
That would definitely take Easter up a notch—and save us the trouble of dyeing them ourselves. Plus, hiding already-colored eggs would make the whole process way easier and a lot more fun.

They are puzzled by the “silver” eggs as that might be a way to encourage laying. Those balls look like they’re made out of tinfoil but how is anyone supposed to know that?
Oh well, all we know is that for over two decades, this chicken has caused hell on the farm.
The Croaky Chicken

Say what? I didn’t know chickens could eat frogs! It’s like they kill mice but only go for the brain and leave the rest of the body behind.
And then there’s the whole “kiss the frog, hope it becomes something beautiful” thing. But this chicken? Zero cares about that fairytale. It’s all business—no romance, just a frog snack.
Nose Rings Are So ’90s

For someone who eats nose rings, that’s one fashion-conscious chick. It might have looked better on another chick, but they assumed it was a fly that needed to be swatted away instead.
So, they had to go for the one thing they don’t like their owner wearing.
Sometimes, The Flip Flop Is Less Judgemental

This might be a love connection waiting to happen, but I suspect that this hen was raised by humans and has taken their owner’s footwear for lurve purposes.
We have to say this is one of the most unique instances on the list and deserves some recognition.
This Chicken Is Bananas

What an impressive unapologetic chicken. That look on their face is the perfect example of “Whatcha going to do about, human?”
Nevertheless, it’s rather strange this chicken would want bananas more than whatever else they like to munch on.
You Need A Chicken Door For That

You know who else loves chicken doors? Badgers. Just kidding, but this chick needs some training, much like a little kid riding a bike for the first time.
As soon as they stop escaping the coop, they’ll be safer than someone who’s living in a safe house.
That Will Do

My friend’s cats would jump anytime his family’s house rooster would stretch their wings and start “talking.”
That rooster just wanted some attention and liked to sit on someone’s lap and be petted. Some chickens want to be cats.
