Farmers Are Shaming Their Chickens For Their ‘Crimes’ And It’s Too Entertaining To Read
Although chickens are often considered as really silly animals, hens are actually really friendly and quite smart (for example, they can recognize and distinguish more than 100 faces, both animal and human). But some of these farm birds give up laying eggs and go rogue. It turns out they are quite good at bringing havoc to quiet farm life - from attacking little children and cats to trashing the house once inside, hens and roosters can get really cocky. To teach them a lesson, owners of these funny chickens are doing some public shaming their animals after catching them red clawed, and we love it. Bored Panda has collected some of the best cases of funny birds against the world, and the overwhelming evidence will ruffle your feathers. Scroll down to check out the chicken shaming series and upvote your favorite entries!
P.S. These chickens aren't the only criminals deserving some animal shaming. Check out asshole dogs and cats as well!

Oo, oo, oo! Speaking of chicken fakers, have a look at what this girl does to deflect the advances of a hopeful rooster: https://www.facebook.com/garytvcom/videos/1560513210670588/
Such a bad chicken. I can see why she doesn't cull you though. I wouldn't either.
I thought it was normal for chickens to eat unviable eggs so that they could regain those proteins and such?
Sometimes hens will develop the compulsive habit of breaking their own eggs, regardless of viability. They can be trained out of it, but it takes a long time and some people think it's not worth the initial loss of the eggs.

My then-hen (already cooked as not-crispy chicken rendang) did it all the time..but she was also n*mpho so we keep her a lil' while cz it produce a lot of eggs..we just had too be fast to find the eggs before she ate them..
Chickens lay eggs without a rooster. She's a stong egg layer. Has nothing to do with "nympho."

Totally normal, leave them and all chickens will eat their own eggs, they don't naturally lay eggs every day it's only when we humans take them away every day, it takes a real toll on the chicken having to lay eggs as much as we humans expect them to. Totally normal, not a sign of anything else.
If she does, then she has calcium deficiency and you need to give your hens calcium. Easiest and most natural way is to grind the egg shells from the ones you've used to small bits and feed them. They will eat them to replenish their calcium level, and it's totally normal for them to eat the shells.
Not whatsoever, most chickens will eat their own eggs if you leave them, they are nutrition, chickens don't naturally lay eggs every day, only when we humans take them away every day. You are conflicting in your information, they will eat them with or without a deficiency.

Give them free-choice calcium, snatch the eggs as soon as they are laid, & keep a few ceramic dummy eggs in the nest box.
Yes, chicken and dumpling out of that one. She's a drain on the economy.
I didn’t know they would do that. I know rabbits will do that (can’t breed them after that because they will every litter).
Just as with the trashed garden, that's a part of the job description...
Hopefully she poops on the floor often, salt is toxic for chickens. Or the owner is British and gives her unsalted fries.
The chick is looking for a tight, cosy corner to hide in. Usually it would be under mum, but any port in a storm.
Well, if they didn't lay them there their owner would steal them!
The hen is a frizzle, and she's moulting - hence her lack of eggs.
Or they're moulting and don't have internal sufficient resources to grow new feathers and keep warm AND lay eggs for those freeloading humans, all at the same time.
Plumber on the roof, the not so successful sequel to fiddler on the roof.
Quite a few chicken owners will house them indoors while coop repairs are going on, because of the predator problems. One of my friends had a resident hawk near her property, so when they had to fix the chicken wire over the run, the hens were in a room in the house.

as im reading these i feel like i hear a soft clucking noise behind me somewhere
Farmers? I think you mean city folk who bought an acre of land in the suburbs and now think they are farmers.
Serious question - does this take away from the desire to eat them or is that compartmentalized?
From what I understand, in some cases it intensifies the urge to eat them.

Is it just me or are chicken owners more eloquent at shaming their chickens than most dog or cat owners? Some of these are really well written.
Love the one who had 10 kids and had no idea who the father was. She seemed to be very content with her promiscuous life style.

I just recently experienced cannibalism in chickens for the first time. The poor pullet was missing half her neck when we found her. You could see a pipe and some juices in her wound. Anyways we separated her and she has now made a full recovery! We've decided to name her 'lucky'.
Chickens will attack a chicken if it has any visible defect. I remember that from my grandfather's ranch. He had some chickens; we never ate them, because he had made them all pets. He also had two greyhounds who never raced. My uncle kept a cow there; my mother wouldn't let me drink her milk because it wasn't pasteurized; she was also a pet. My Dad had two horses: a Palomino stallion called Chief, beautiful animal. Nuisance, a lovely gelding we could all ride. My grandfather built a tack barn, stables and a corral. He built my parents a house, my aunt and uncle a house. He built my SF fashionista a large home with a library, and took her to the City for shopping and plays. He built a motel and a gas station/market adjacent to the 99 highway. His freezer had huge ice creams drums which smelled wonderful. A kid's paradise with a large cemetary down the road with large roadways and a mausaleum where my best friend and I gave grand balls, announcing Duke and Duchess so and so

They really do make great pets (Pornos for Pyros pun intended). My dad had started raising them, I rolled my eyes but became enamoured with them. I went as far as to raise one in my house when his mom abandoned him the day he hatched. Named him after the singer for Pulp ... Jarvis Cocker
JUST by curiosity, how do you manage hen poop into the house ?

it's funny how the chickens that look the gentlest are the most aggressive mean ones (:
i was so disappointed, that i haven't seen this in comments https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z8pknnncODo
Poor chicks having to lay all those eggs all the time :( I'd totally want to have chickens if I had a big garden but not have any eggs, it's painful for them. We can yet again blame that on the breeding.
Not true. It doesn't pain them unless the egg gets stuck.

I love how the beaks of all these chickens are still intact. In NL, the beaks are usually partially cut off at an early age. 😢
Those are 'factory chickens'. It's done so they can't peck each other. These are egg chickens--the eggs rolls down the slope of the nesting box to a conveyor belt. At soon as they stop producing at top speed they become chicken parts for dinner.

I still can't believe that owning chickens is now a thing...in Silicon Valley. https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/business/wp/2018/03/02/feature/the-silicon-valley-elites-latest-status-symbol-chickens/?noredirect=on&utm_term=.33f96b5d2ee9
I live within city limits. I was astonished to discover that we can have '3 chickens per person' (but no roosters) within city limits, per the latest on-line rules. Me, I want Easter Egg hens.
