Funny Chicken 'Tells Off' the Dog Because She Wants to Lay an Egg in His Kennel

Chickens and dogs aren't the most natural pairing. Although they surely do live together from time to time. Just take the testy way that a chicken named Popcorn reacted to its dog brother.

The hilarious video shows Popcorn getting on her high horse when she noticed the dog was exactly where she wanted to sit.

Can't we all just get along? Nope, not in Popcorn's house. The chicken was caught throwing a fit when she saw that the dog was chilling in his kennel.

"When you want to lay an egg but the dog pissed you off because he's in his kennel," the video's onscreen caption reads. The chicken was clucking so loudly at the pup, while the dog cowered in the kennel hoping that Popcorn would go away. Poor thing! It had no idea what to do.

A lot of people in the comments couldn't stop laughing at Popcorn "telling the dog off." "Oooooo she is telling him every which way," joked one commenter. "How I be cussing out my manager in my head on our calls," another person kidded. "She was using fowl language," a third commenter teased. "Lol he’s lookin at you like what have you brought into this house woman," one person pointed out.

Chickens Can Be Territorial

Despite Popcorn's outburst, chickens do make excellent pets. You just have to watch out for their territorial instincts. It's no surprise that Popcorn was feeling feisty when the dog was in a space she liked. Chickens will get aggressive to protect what's theirs.

They'll even get aggressive with other chickens. If they suspect a chicken in the flock is weak, they'll bully the bird. Sometimes they'll peck that chicken to the point that they're seriously injured. The smell of the blood from those injuries can result in cannibalism. So yeah — chickens like their space.

If you're raising chickens at home and want to add to your flock, it's important to take steps to lessen their aggression. One of the easiest things you can do is choose chickens that are already the same size, color, and breed as the rest of your other chickens. Chickens will noticed when there's an odd bird out and will attack them. Different breeds of chickens also don't get along. You also might want to make sure there's plenty of food and resources around for your chickens, so there's no fighting. If one of your chickens is ill or injured, keep it away from the others. It might seem extreme, but it's definitely better to be safe than sorry.
