"EEEEEKKKKKK", the scream pealed out, blood curdling in the afternoon sun. "EEEEKKKKKKKK!!! Oh My GOD! Did you see it?" loudly rolled across the air waves of the quiet yard. One loan chicken, scratching around in the shade of the shed heard this, stopping mid scratch & peck it listened closely. "Did you? I saw something move by that shed over there!!" Hearing this, the chicken looked around very slowly, then took a step forward. "See! I just saw it moving again!" Now the chicken was terrified. What was it this person was seeing moving? Whatever it was, it was by the same shed as the chicken was. It could be a coyote, or a weisel, or, or.... Now the chicken broke into a run, spurred on by terror, running as fast as it could, headed towards the road. "Oh." a very quiet whisper on the air. "Haha... I guess it was only that little chicken that just ran off across the road."

-thriller story:

Lightening flashed through the blackened night sky, followed immediately by a loud clap of thunder!! The chicken, awakened from deep sleep by the blinding light and crashing noise, looked to its left and saw the dry grass on fire where the lightening had struck. Up it jumped, cackling loudly to the other chickens to run for their lives. The cackling hen and the smell of smoke in their nostrils was motivation enough. All 8 chickens ran from the cover beneath the fallen trees that they’d called home, ran through the ditch and across the road to the safety of the irrigation sprinkler in the field on the other side.

-comedy story:

This chicken walks into a bar and says to the Bartender, "Give me a beer."

The bartender, thinking he's funny, says to the chicken, "Why did the chicken cross the road?"

"To get a freakin' beer, Jerk Wad! So are you going to bring me a beer or not? I didn't walk all the way across that road just to hear your lips flap!"

I hope these answer that age old question, haha.
